Floods are commonly measured using the Fujita Scale, which categorizes the intensity of tornadoes and their associated flooding impacts, and the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which assesses hurricane strength and potential flooding. For river flooding, the stage height (measured in feet or meters) at specific gauge stations is often used, as well as the flood recurrence interval to estimate the likelihood of a flood event. Additionally, flood severity can be assessed using the Flood Severity Scale, which considers factors like duration and extent of inundation.
