Abstract
Precautionary controls have been implemented in Jeddah area in order to reduce and mitigate the impact and risk of natural hazards. However, not all of these controls are effective for reasons of their scale, site selection and even engineering practices, among others. It is useful to investigate these measures after the event has taken place in order to induce their reliability and effectiveness. Such an investigation was carried out in Jeddah and the surrounding area following the floods and torrents that occurred in 2009 and 2011, and the effect of many of the controls implemented was found to be negligible.
