Social Flood Risk Index (SFRI): River & Coastal Flooding - 2050s 2 deg scenario (Climate Just)

The Social Flood Risk Index (SFRI) is a measure of where social vulnerability and exposure to flooding coincide. It is a relative index and has no defined units. SFRI incorporates the chance of flooding occurring in the floodplain (accounting for defences), the number of people living within the floodplain and the overall social vulnerability of the neighbourhood. High positive scores identify neighbourhoods where large numbers of the most vulnerable people are exposed to flooding. High negative values are a result of high numbers of people living in the floodplain in a neighbourhood with low social vulnerability (below the UK mean). Neighbourhoods where no-one lives in the floodplain have a value of zero. This layer shows the SFRI for Coastal & Fluvial flooding for a 2 degree rise in Global Mean Temperature (from the 1961-90 baseline as used in the UKCP09 climate change projections) by 2050 scenario.
