Therefore, every element of the urban&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;environment has to be prepared and develop abilities, in order to face the future challenges, such as the floods.&amp;nbsp;This paper focuses on a part of Kifissos drainage basin (Athens, Greece) in order to estimate and compare&amp;nbsp;direct residential flood damages from different building types around Kifissos river. For the purposes of this study,&amp;nbsp;FloReTo, a web-based tool was used. FloReTo is a web-based advisory system on mitigation measures on a&amp;nbsp;micro-scale level, enabling tailored approach for the user’s own property data.&amp;nbsp;As this paper deals with flood damages on a microscale-residential level, the data collected from the studied&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;buildings include information concerning the type of property, the conditions of the buildings (old, new, renovated,&amp;nbsp;etc.), type of foundation, elevations of the floors, configuration of the basement (if they exist) and first floor with a&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;detailed description of the materials, the assets/property of the examined floors and finally information about the&amp;nbsp;services of the building (electricity, heating, sewerage system).&amp;nbsp;The comparison of the results of this model allows evaluating the predominant building types of the study area&amp;nbsp;along with their preparedness and capacity to cope with the current and future challenges.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
