This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between flood damage and rainfall in the downstream areas of Han River. We used flooding damage and daily rainfall data observed in the 12 downstream areas during 2000-2012. Rainfall variables were analysed which include total rainfall over the basin of downstream areas in the Han River for flooding periods, maximum accumulative rainfall over 1hours, 3 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours, and rainfall in the upper regions of the Han River. Flooding damages of the study areas have signiÿcant positive correlations with rainfall variables. The most significant variable that affect the amount of damage is 3 hour accumulative precipitation. It means that the more three-hour precipitation increases, the more the amount of damage also increases. We found that there is a high possibility of floods when a heavy rainfall day continues for more than 2 days by comparing heavy rainfall days between with and without flooding disasters. The possibility of flood decreases when interval of just before a heavy rainfall day and flooding period increase.
