Ecuador historical flood occurrences and impacts dataset with Flash Flood Confidence Index (2007-2020)

This Ecuador historical flood dataset has been compiled from two different sources : DesInventar (UNISDR) and the Ecuadorian Secretariat for Disaster Management (SNGRE) ranging from 2007 to 2020, and results in 4967 data entries.

For each event it contains information about: 

Location (administrative level, 3 regions, exact location name and XY coordinates) 

Date of the event (Day, Hour, Minutes)

Flash Flood Identifiers detected from the event description

Impacts (12 different fields)

In addition, several indexes have been computed:

FFCI (1-10) : Flash Flood confidence index from events description FF identifiers tagging

FFSI (1-10) : the Flash Flood Susceptibility Index (from geomorphology characteristics) of the catchment the point event is falling in

EFFCI (1-10) : Enhanced FFCI combining information about FFSI and FFCI

Impact_Severity (1-6) : computed from the estimated number of people affected.
