Flooding is considered as one of the most destructive events in many parts of the world in terms of occurrence and distribution, river flooding remains as a common disaster that has to be faced by the civilization in the flood plains. Due to the periodical happening and horrible impact that may be generated, Flood risk management is necessary to conduct. Risk assessment is a necessity for flood risk management. Practically, the majority of the decision-making requires that the risks and costs of all risk mitigation options are evaluated in quantified terms. As a result, a quantitative assessment of potential flood loss is very important, mainly for emergency planning and pre-disaster preparedness. The present review work primarily focuses on the assessment methodologies and an operational approach for assessing the risk of flood loss to the population, crops, housing, and the economy at different Scale’s around the world. These techniques are based on hydro-meteorological, socio-economic and with the combination of those parameters in Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. Concluding that GIS platform appears to be most competent, as it is capable of integrating all the other techniques of flood risk assessment, providing plenty of evidence that the right combination of scientific understanding, experience, forecast and common sense can significantly reduce the risks posed by flood disasters.
