Abstract
The desire for living without hazardous damages grows these days, the city strategy to make the safer community has become an issue. The global assessment for the flood index require the process considering different climate of the world cities. In this study, the actual rainfall observations of the world's major cities were collected. To compare different rainfall characteristics, we calculated some indicators such as frequency factor etc using the probable maximum precipitation. Using the results of these indicators, major cities in Korea show greater variability in the rainfall characteristics when compared to other major cities in the world. These results are expected to be useful for the development of global flood risk assessment as well as the setting the direction for future flood prevention measures.
