Flood Susceptibility Map Over Mediterranean area benefiting from the latest high-resolution satellite observations (1km)

General Description

This dataset provides high-resolution (1 km) flood susceptibility maps (FSM) for the Mediterranean region, delivered in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format.

The maps represent a probabilistic assessment of flood susceptibility by integrating:

• Dynamic variables: soil moisture, precipitation
• Static variables: elevation, slope, land cover, proximity to rivers, drainage density

The dataset supports disaster risk assessment, flood hazard mapping, and spatial planning, enabling consistent and comparable analysis across the Mediterranean region.

Data Details

• Spatial resolution: 1 km
• Coordinate Reference System: EPSG:4326
• Geographical coverage: Mediterranean region
• File format: Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (.tif)
• Data type: Flood Susceptibility Index (probabilistic)
• Temporal coverage: Representative of climatological conditions (annual model output)

Name Convention

Where:

• FSM = Flood Susceptibility Map
• 1-km = spatial resolution
• MED= Mediterranean region
• epsg4326 = coordinate system
• v01 = version
