AB The assessment of vulnerability to the danger of flooding, with a focus on the need forrescue and assistance from the population, is still in an exploratory scientific phase. The mainobjective of this research is to propose a methodology based on the issues of rescue and assistance inthe face of the risk of floods and to provide a tool for its management. A series of maps is presented,indicating those territorial elements that require rescue and surveillance in a prioritized manner in avisual and accessible way for public administration. Four methodological cartographic proposalshave been designed as follows: (1) a map of territory sectors with special rescue needs (dependentpopulation and/or buildings without shelter); a map of the impact on transportation infrastructureand vulnerable areas of buildings (2); a map of vulnerability to possible disorder and looting causedby flooding events (3); and a map of the increase in the cost of deployment for rescue and assistancesystems (4). As an experimental zone to test the effectiveness of these proposals, a peri-urban area ofthe municipality of Málaga (Spain) is chosen, which has an extensive history of severe floods. Theresults confirm the applied and preventive nature of the tool, which can be incorporated into floodrisk management plans and local flood risk action plans developed by public administrations. Themain finding of the research is the technical advancement that comes with a precise understanding ofvulnerability and its resulting issues for better flood risk management.
