Abstract

The natural disasters like floods and landslides have increased in the last decades. In this way it is necessary that the counties in which the process of flood occurr, established a detailed mapping of areas with most occurrences of this process. Using geomorphological and morphometric analysis, that allow to determine flood points, are organized in a schematic graphic for the characterization of each point. It was used as a case study the Piabanha River, in the Petrópolis and Areal counties. The development of a thematic map with flood points is one of the results obtained.
