We present in this paper a RESTful Application Program Interface (API) for building damage estimation. This API is a web-service which allows access to buildings damage calculations outside of a risk assessment program. It is designed to provide a point of entry for developers to programmatically...
consequences. For instance, severe water scarcity, more intense competition for water, and a more widespread epidemic of water-borne diseases15; flooding and polluted water resources may further lead to soil contamination, which can damage crops and disrupt food supplies16; Finally, pregnancy outcomes...
Flooding is among the most prevalent natural hazards, with particularly disastrous impacts in low-income countries. This study presents global estimates of the number of people exposed to high flood risks in interaction with poverty. It finds that 1.81 b
it is difficult to know when coral reefs have been degraded and further to make the connection between reef loss and flood damage. In contrast, the loss of intertidal habitats such as mangroves and marshes is visibly
Flooding is a serious problem in Jakarta, and detailed estimation of flood damage is necessary to design optimal flood management strategies. This study ai
The damage surfaces are an essential component of the developed model which was implemented in Python, enabling the GIS visualization of the estimated agricultural damage. The aforementioned methodology was applied for estimating the damage caused by a flash flood that took place in the Koiliaris ...
Quantification of the depth of floodwater is important for emergency response, relief operations, damage assessment etc. The Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool (FwDET) calculates water depth based on topographic analysis using standard GIS tools within a Python script. FwDET?s low input requirements (...
Economic damage assessment For the estimation of direct asset damages, we apply the regional residential flood depth-damage functions developed by Huizinga et al.18(Supplementary Methods3). The quantification of flood damages consists of the following steps: (1) determine exposed assets on the grid-...
In addition to conventional delineation maps, the ensemble procedure implemented in CEMS offers a pixel-level likelihood estimation of the flood area extent as well as an exclusion mask indicating the regions where the detection is prevented due to hampering factors, e.g., strong geometric ...
Improvement of the Estimation Method for Traffic Congestion Costs; Technical Report 2007-07; The Korea Transport Institute: Sejong, Republic of Korea, 2007. [Google Scholar] Kim, G.H.; Kim, G.T. Development of a flood damage estimation model (K-FRM) analysis tool to support flood control ...
