This wiki documents a range of analytical methods, and associated tools implementing these methods, which can be used to support the processes of flood risk management. By collecting together basic information about these methods, case studies of their application and pointers to more detailed information, it makes them more accessible to the flood risk analysis practitioner. The development of further guidance is also recommended (see the [Code of Practice] pages) as a further step to making uncertainty analysis in particular a routine part of modelling exercises in flood risk management. There remain significant barriers to the widespread adoption of the methods detailed here, however. Experience of the collaborative development of end-to-end flood risk analysis (for example in RASP and the [http://www.tyndall.ac.uk/research/theme4/theme4_flagship.shtml Tyndall Coastal Simulator]) and uncertainty analysis (for example in TE2100) has highlighted two major difficulties: 1. ''[Software coupling]: Coupling numerous independently developed software codes into a correct implementation of the complex sequences of computations which constitute a flood risk analysis.'' 2. ''Communication about the content and meaning of these computations.'' The [Reframe] software (being developed through the [http://www.floodrisk.org.uk/ FRMRC] and [http://www.floodsite.org/ FLOODsite] projects) is explicitly designed to address these two issues.
