Developing a performance evaluation functional model for cities impacted by a natural hazard: application to a city affected by flooding

. The experience feedback on a crisis that hit a city is frequently used as a "recollection" tool. However, it may not be held in itself as a tool for analyzing a city's performance. The city, considered as a complex system, was modeled using a functional analysis method. Based on such modeling, two risk analysis methods (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis and Event Tree Method) were deployed and adjusted. Lastly, a qualitative reasoning model had been used for get the scenario modeling of the urban crisis. Such functional model was deployed on a case study.
