Algorithms for impact assessment

Deliverable 53 will include the algorithms to calculate the direct impacts to population and assets The most robust and reliable method will be identified by evaluating different approaches Task 53 including deterministic and semiprobabilistic methods The flood simulations performed using the LISFLOODFP model will be used for this purpose The selected impact algorithms will be used in WP6 and integrated in the platform to perform a pre and postevent impact assessment for the ECFASRMRRM component The approaches will take into account timevarying exposure and vulnerability relations The selection of the impact approaches will be based on the algorithms capacity to predict impacts and their uncertainty and on their computational demand Their performance will be evaluated in quantitative terms ie by comparison with local andor supralocal data data available in CEMS from previous activations when possible in qualitative terms otherwise An integrated analysis will allow providing a general semiquantitative assessment of the performance of the impact assessment method This deliverable will include conceptual frameworks scripts and metadata of the set of algorithms identified for impact assessment Deliverable 53 will include a technical document providing information on the performance and limitations of the approaches
