Abstract Floods are natural disasters with significant economic and infrastructural impacts. Assessing flood susceptibility in mountainous urban regions is particularly challenging due to the complicated interaction which structures terrain affect behavior. This study employs two ensemble machine learning algorithms, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) Random Forest (RF), develop maps for Hunza-Nagar region, has been experiencing frequent flooding past three decades. An unsteady flow simulation carried out HEC-RAS utilizing a 100-year return period hydrograph as an input boundary condition, output of provided spatial inundation extents necessary developing inventory. Ten explanatory factors, including climatic, geological, geomorphological features namely elevation, slope, curvature, topographic wetness index (TWI), normalized difference vegetation (NDVI), land use cover (LULC), rainfall, lithology, distance roads rivers considered mapping. For inventory, random sampling technique adopted create repository non-flood points, incorporating ten geo-environmental conditioning factors. The models’ accuracy assessed using area under curve (AUC) receiver operating characteristics (ROC). prediction rate AUC values 0.912 RF 0.893 XGBoost, also demonstrating superior performance accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, kappa evaluation metrics. Consequently, model selected represent map area. resulting will assist national disaster management infrastructure development authorities identifying high susceptible zones carrying early mitigation actions future floods.
