FLOODS

Repository for collaboration on workflows for floods hazard.

Part of the Climate Risk Assessment Handbook.

Workflows

• River flood
• Coastal flood

Both workflows enable the user to retrieve relevant flood maps from open global databases and combine those with data on exposure and vulnerability in the form of land use maps and economic damage curves.

• Flood building damage and population exposure

How to run

See our how to run risk workflows page in the handbook for more information.

Launch a binder session

Binder sessions are not persistent and may not provide the necessary computing resources to run all workflow steps. In particular, the workflows cannot be used on Binder to load multiple flood maps or perform all of the calculations in an efficient manner.

Quickstart: local setup

In a terminal where git and conda are available:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/CLIMAAX/FLOODS.git
   

2. Move into the cloned repository

   cd FLOODS
   

3. Create a new environment from the environment.yml file

   conda env create -f environment.yml
   

4. Activate the environment

   conda activate climaax_floods
   

5. Launch the Jupyter interface of your preference with

   jupyter lab
   

   or

   jupyter notebook
