Access to trusted and appropriate data is a challenge in risk quantification. Increased confidence in risk assessment and resilience planning can be achieved through the use of open source data and modelling by creating robust and consistent core data repositories of hazard, exposure and vulnerability, which can be augmented with data from both public and private sources using appropriate standards and reference frameworks.

This session is a demonstration-led presentation of the latest tools to quantify flood, storms and other hazards, and how the use of data and model standards can increase access to transparent data sources to support strategic decisions.

In this session we show:

How the application of regional scientific research can be used to represent potential future flood risks using a present day global flood model
Data that is curated and validated by the global open source community creates significant public good and expands equitable solutions for those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change
How local knowledge can augment globally collected risk data
The latest thinking on the potential for globally curated data and models to be applied towards both public and private climate risk management needs.
