Abstract	The aim of this book is to contribute to the understanding of the risk knowledge and forecasting components of flood early warning in the particular environment of tropical high mountains in developing cities. These represent a challenge taking into account the persistent lack of data, limited resources and often complex climatic, hydrologic and hydraulic conditions. In this research, a regional method for assessing flash flood susceptibility and for identifying debris flow predisposition at the watershed scale is proposed. An indication of hazard was obtained from the flash flood susceptibility analysis and then, vulnerability and an indication of flood risk at watershed scale was obtained. Based on risk analyses, the research follows the modelling steps for flood forecasting development. Input precipitation is addressed in the environment of complex topography commonly found in mountainous tropical areas. A distributed model, a semi-distributed model and a lumped model were used to simulate the discharges of a tropical high mountain basin with a paramo upper basin. Performance analysis and diagnostics were carried out in order to identify the most appropriate model for the study area for flood early warning. Finally, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was used to explore the added value of numerical weather models for flood early warning in a paramo area.
