Rapid Flood Mapping | NOTE: This information is EXPERIMENTAL. Estimated flood extent at 1km resolution based on the matching of return periods from the GloFAS streamflow forecast and a catalogue of modelled inundation extents. Data are only generated for basins greater than 5,000 km2 and where the maximum return period is greater than 10 years in the 30-day forecast horizon. The role of flood defences is not considered from FLOPROS estimates. | Map Impact Matrix | Flood hazard data: https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/collection/floods FLOPROS flood defences (Scussolini et al., 2016): https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-16-1049-2016 | |
Rapid Impact Assessment | NOTE: This information is EXPERIMENTAL. Potential impact of floods on population, land use (agriculture, urban), schools, health and education facilities based on their intersection with the 1km resolution rapid flood mapping layer. Results are aggregated over administration regions. Colours represent the location within an impact matrix based on the time to peak GloFAS streamflow and how many people live within the footprint of the flood inundation. Data are only generated for basins greater than 5,000 km^2 and where the maximum return period is greater than 10 years. The role of flood defences is considered from FLOPROS estimates. | Map Impact Matrix | Population data - Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL): https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ Landcover data - ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) landcover: https://www.esa-landcover-cci.org/ Health, education and airport facility information: openstreetmap.org Flood defences: FLOPROS (Scussolini et al., 2016): https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-16-1049-2016 Administration regions - 1) NUTS: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/background, 2) GADM: https://gadm.org/ |
