Rainfall monsoons and the resulting flooding have always been cataclysmic disasters that heightened global concerns in light of climate change. Flood susceptibility modeling is an indirect method for reducing flood disaster losses. This study aimed to improve by developing a sequential ensemble (extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)) model utilizing three swarm-based algorithms (bacterial foraging optimization (BFO), cuckoo search (CS), artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithms). Initially, integration optical (Landsat-8) radar (Sentinel-1) satellite images were used monitor flooded areas during July 2022 monsoon Kazerun region, Iran. A total 1358 occurrence points considered from monitored areas; 70% (952 points) 30% (406 evaluating models, respectively. Based on thirteen spatial criteria influencing floods, four models ((XGBoost, XGBoost-ABC, XGBoost-BFO, XGBoost-CS)) generate map (FSM). According results, XGBoost-CS (area under curve (AUC) = 0.96), XGBoost-BFO (AUC 0.953), XGBoost-ABC 0.941), XGBoost 0.939) greater accuracy modeling, The results indicated coupled with metaheuristic (XGBoost-ABC, XGBoost-CS) exhibited higher than standalone model.

Nepal, known for its challenging topography and fragile geology is confronted with the constant threat of floods leading to substantial socio-economic losses annually. However, country's efforts in planning managing flood risks remain insufficient, especially vulnerable Mohana-Khutiya River. Therefore, this study focused on River utilizes Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model comprehensively map susceptibility fill crucial gaps risk assessments. This employed a combination 10 geospatial environmental layers field-based past inventory implement MaxEnt machine learning modeling. The available data were divided into two sets, 75% allocated construction remaining 25% validation. demonstrated that proximity river had significant impact (33.1%) occurrence flood. Surprisingly, amount annual precipitation throughout year exhibited no detectable contribution event site. About 4.9% area came under high susceptible zone followed by 12.75 % moderate 82.34% low-risk zone. excellent performance an Area Under Curve (AUC) value 0.935 low standard deviation 0.018, indicating accurate predictions consistent precision. These results highlight model's reliability significance developing disaster management policy local government Future research should refine including more variables, validating against observed events, exploring integration other modeling approaches.

Abstract Identifying flood‐prone areas is essential for preventing floods, reducing risks, and making informed decisions. A spatial database with 595 flood inventory 13 predictors were used to implement five boosting algorithms: gradient machine (GBM), extreme boosting, categorical logit boost, light (LGBM) map susceptibility in Rathnapura while evaluating trained model's generalizing ability assessing the feature importance mapping (FSM). The model performance was evaluated using F1‐score, kappa index, area under curve (AUC) method. findings revealed that all models effective identifying overall trends LightGBM had superior results (F1‐score = 0.907, Kappa value 0.813 AUC 0.970), securing top scores across metrics compared other (for testing dataset). Based on evaluation, most of finer (AUC min 0.737) moderate predictions beyond training region. According results, regions lower altitudes topographic roughness values, rainfall, proximity rivers are more susceptible flooding. This framework can be adapted rapid FSM data‐deficient regions.
