Digital Earth 'Controls and Indicators for Flood Impacts' Backend Module

The Digital Earth Controls and Indicators for Flood Impacts Backend Module cifi  provides functions to access flood event data and identify relevant controls and useful indicators for the assessment of flood impacts (CIFI). This module contains a data acquisition pipeline to scrape available resources from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) website and upload them to a workspace on a configured geoserver instance. The functions are exposed via the DASF RPC messaging protocol. It is used by the Socio-Economic Flood Impacts Workflow as part of the Digital Earth Flood Event Explorer.

cifi is developed at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (https://www.gfz-potsdam.de) and funded by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association through the Digital Earth project (https://www.digitalearth-hgf.de/).
