Exposure of buildings to flood – Saint-Louis, Senegal

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
