ESG Assessment – Flood Risk
Our ESG physical model for flood impact assessment determines flood-prone areas by municipality in France, classifying floods into three severity levels. It generates future scenarios for each flood level and uses sector-specific damage functions to assess the impacts. By integrating a portfolio of physical assets, their current and future values (without flooding), the model calculates financial losses by asset, municipality, region, and sector, at the national scale. Additional specific modules will be integrated to meet our clients’ particular needs.
Challenges
Data accuracy
Collecting precise and up-to-date data on flood-prone areas, current and future asset values, and postal addresses.
Research
Exploration of complex research fields such as gesture recognition
Modelling future scenarios
Creating realistic and accurate future flood scenarios for each severity level.
Climate risk evolution
Accounting for climate change and its impact on the frequency and severity of floods.
Sector-specific damage functions
Developing damage functions tailored to each sector to accurately estimate financial impacts.
Solution
The solution maps flood-prone areas by municipality and incorporates climate change-based flood scenarios. It features calibratable damage functions, easy integration of specific modules, and validation with historical data. Results are presented in a clear, intuitive web application, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions.
