<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Within this paper, a methodology for assessing the flood risk was developed by extracting the essential factors that favor the generation of flood risk. These factors, that had a sufficient number of data for a proper comparative analysis, are: potentially affected population based on population density, total agricultural area, total built-up area and the historical maximum amount of precipitation recorded in 24 hours. The flood risk assessment is presented in the form of indices calculation for all these factors and maps generated which representing the results of the calculation of the above-mentioned factors and the results of the flood risk index calculation.Urban floods have particularities that must be presented in detail to understand the flood phenomenon, which is why this paper takes into consideration these areas. In order to determine the probability of urban floods, all disturbing factors that may affect the urban area must be taken into account.The method presented in this paper can be used in sectoral planning activities and integrated planning studies, and for damage assessment.</abstract>
