Flood risk assessments of both exposure and vulnerability should leverage the best available data- but often those producing or using such assessments are unaware of what is available.
In order to maximize exchange and value of required data and models, collaborative partnerships between private and public entities must be established. There is a clear need to bring together government agencies, humanitarian aid organizations, insurance and re-insurance providers, private sector industries, as well as academic and research institutions to increase collaboration and improve access to and flow of information around flood risk.
Aim
identify minimal requirements for mapping global flood risk that meets user needs
start new collaborative partnerships and strengthen existing ones
identify achievable short-term goals that do not require significant funding
