Abstract
Rapid advances that improve flood management have facilitated the disaster response by providing first aid services, finding safe routes, maintaining communication and developing flood maps. Different technologies such as image processing, satellite imagery, synthetic imagery and integrated approaches have been extensively analysed in the literature for disaster operations. There is a need to review cutting-edge technologies for flood management. This paper presents a review of the latest advancements in the flood management domain based on image processing, artificial intelligence and integrated approaches with a focus on post-disaster. It answers the following research questions: (1) What are the latest developments in image processing for flood management in a post-disaster scenario? (2) What are the latest techniques for flood management based on artificial intelligence in a post-disaster scenario? (3) What are the existing gaps in the selected technologies for post-disaster? (4) How can the authorities improve the existing post-disaster management operation with cutting-edge technologies? A novel framework has been proposed to optimise flood management with the application of a holistic approach.

Instead of using traditional cloud computing-based disaster management methods, social media is a good platform to disseminate information and altering various Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based techniques can help the authorities with data offloading and real-time thedetection community
AI methods are frequently used to deal with several flood-related problems, including flood prediction, flood hazard analysis, flood detection, mapping flood-prone regions and assessing the damage of infrastructure components after the flood
Summary
Climate change impacts have increased the events of natural disasters around the world. The impacts of these natural events, such as floods, drought, fire, cyclones, hurricanes and others, are profound on developing countries as well as on developed countries [1,2,3]. First is the pre-disaster stage, which emphasises monitoring or early warning system to alert the authorities about the incoming natural event; second is damage control during the event, and third is the post-disaster recovery phase to bring life back to normality [6,7,8]. To address the challenges of natural events, the International Emergency Management System (IEMS) was established in 1993 to set up procedures and guidelines for countries to adapt during a crisis scenario.
