Maximum Flood Depth Survey Data for Hong Kong Kowloon (September 7-8, 2023)

Dataset Overview This dataset contains maximum flood depth measurements collected in the aftermath of the severe flooding event that affected the Kowloon area of Hong Kong (香港九龙地区) during September 7-8, 2023. The data focuses specifically on areas surrounding MTR (Mass Transit Railway) stations, providing valuable information for urban flood analysis, infrastructure vulnerability assessment, and disaster management planning. Data Collection Methodology The survey employed a dual approach for data collection: Physical measurements: Flood marks on walls, buildings, and other permanent structures were measured to determine maximum water depths reached during the flooding event. Community interviews: Local residents and business owners in the affected areas were interviewed to verify and supplement the physical measurements, particularly in areas where flood marks may have been cleaned or were otherwise unavailable.
