With the HydroMT-FIAT plugin, users can easily benefit from the rich set of tools of the HydroMT package to build and update Delft-FIAT models from available global and local data.
This plugin assists the FIAT modeller in:
- Quickly setting up a Delft-FIAT model based on existing hazard maps, global and user-input exposure layers, and a global database of vulnerability curves
- Adjusting and updating components of a FIAT model and their associated parameters in a consistent way, e.g., to test measures that affect the exposure or vulnerability of a FIAT model or to improve an existing FIAT model with better quality data
- Building FIAT models in a reproducible and consistent way
Release Notes
The application of HydroMT-FIAT is demonstrated in Jupyter Notebooks developed in interTwin (https://github.com/interTwin-eu/DT-flood/tree/DemonstrationNotebooks).
A pilot implementation is being run on a Virtual Machine at DESY where the Notebooks are being adapted to leverage the pilot interTwin datalake.
This release offers examples of how to set up and run SFINCS and Delft-FIAT. The HydroMT-FIAT plugin offers capabilities to easily set up and run Delft-FIAT using globally available data.
Users can select raising properties, floodproofing properties and buying out neighbourhoods as flood mitigation and adaptation measures.
Future Plans
In the next release capabilities will be created so that:
- Users can specify a geographic area of interest and a minimal number of model-specific parameters, and SFINCS to simulate flood inundation is automatically set up using locally available data.
- Users can easily run the flood inundation model (SFINCS) using locally available data.
