Exposure of buildings to flood – Saint-Louis, Senegal
Description
| Demonstration Case Name |
Multi-hazards in Senegal (transferability case) |
|
Dataset Name/Title |
Exposure of buildings to flood - Saint-Louis, Senegal |
|
Dataset Description |
Exposure analysis of buildings |
|
Key Methodologies |
Flood water heights were simulated with the FastFloodApp. The storm was simulated as the worst-case scenario, as if three flood types, pluvial (24 mm/h in 3 hours), fluvial (54000 m3/s) and coastal (0.59 m a.s.l.), co-occurred. Building occupancy type was determined querrying Overpass API withing building footprints. The exposure analysis was conducted at riskchanges.org |
