Major Flooding Issue: Flooding is a significant challenge in Asia, driven by heavy seasonal rains, extensive river networks, and rapidly growing cities.
Severe Flooding in Key Countries: Countries like Bangladesh, India, and China frequently experience severe floods during the rainy season, leading to tragic loss of life and displacement of families.
Impact on Property and Infrastructure: Floods can cause significant damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure, disrupting communities and economies.
Climate Change Effects: Climate change is exacerbating the situation, resulting in heavier rains and rising sea levels that increase flood risks.

In this analysis, we can sort the rules by decreasing support or confidence.
Support refers to the proportion of transactions in the dataset that contain a specific rule. It indicates how frequently the rule applies in the dataset. A higher support value suggests that the rule is more relevant.
Confidence measures the reliability of the inference made by the rule. It indicates the likelihood of the consequent occurring given that the antecedent is present. A higher confidence value signifies that the rule has a strong predictive power.
For example, the following rule can be interpreted as:
Rule: Origin=Heavy rain, Total Affected=Severe Impact, Country=China → Disaster Subtype=Riverine flood
Interpretation: This rule suggests that when there is heavy rain and severe impacts in China, there is a high likelihood that the disaster subtype will be classified as a riverine flood. The support and confidence values associated with this rule would quantify how often this scenario occurs in the dataset and how reliable this prediction is based on historical data.
Association Rule Dashboard: Dive into detailed insights, discovering associations such as which flood causes are linked to high-impact events in certain regions.
We encourage users to explore the visualizations and association rules to gain a comprehensive view of flood risks across Asia and identify ways to contribute to greater resilience.
