Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Mapping flood risk areas is important for disaster management at the local, regional, and national scales. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of large-scale models to obtain flood hazard maps. The models were compared to the estimates developed by the Brazilian Geological Survey (CPRM) for different return periods (RP). The floods were evaluated for the municipalities of Uruguaiana, Montenegro and São Sebastião do Caí in the Rio Grande do Sul state. It was shown that the flood mapping generated by MGB covers larger areas (greater than 1000 km2; Siqueira et al. 2018), with a lower cost of obtaining for large scales. The - Hit Rate of the regional and continental MGB model versions with the CPRM maps ranged from about 40% to 90% in different cities, and the Hit Rate between the regional model and the CPRM map increased with the increased return period floods. The continental model compatibility was similar for all analyzed RPs. Our results suggest the agreement in terms of Hit Rate of current large-scale hydrological-hydrodynamic models to assess flood hazard. RESUMO Mapear áreas com risco de cheias é importante para o gerenciamento de desastres em nível local, regional e nacional. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade de modelos de grande escala na obtenção de áreas inundadas com tempos de retorno específicos, em comparação com a mancha de inundação desenvolvida pelo Serviço Geológico do Brasil (CPRM). Foram avaliadas as manchas para os municípios de Uruguaiana, Montenegro e São Sebastião do Caí, no Rio Grande do Sul. Observou-se que os resultados gerados pelo MGB são mais abrangentes espacialmente (áreas maiores que 50km2), com um custo de obtenção menor para grandes escalas. A taxa de acerto das versões do modelo MGB regional e continental com os mapas da CPRM variaram desde cerca de 40% até 90% nas diferentes cidades, sendo que a taxa de acerto, entre o modelo regional e o mapa da CPRM aumentou com o aumento do TR. Já a compatibilidade do modelo continental foi similar para todos os TRs analisados. Os resultados sugerem a capacidade, em termos de taxa de acerto, dos modelos hidrológico-hidrodinâmicos de larga escala para avaliar o risco de inundação.
