Exposure of buildings to flood – Saint-Louis, Senegal

Demonstration Case Name Multi-hazards in Senegal (transferability case) Dataset Name/Title Exposure of buildings to flood - Saint-Louis, Senegal Dataset Description Exposure analysis of buildings Key Methodologies Flood water heights were simulated with the FastFloodApp. The storm was simulated as the worst-case scenario, as if three flood types, pluvial (24 mm/h in 3 hours), fluvial (54000 m3/s) and coastal (0.59 m a.s.l.), co-occurred. Building occupancy type was determined querrying Overpass API withing building footprints. The exposure analysis was conducted at riskchanges.org Temporal Domain N/A Spatial Domain Saint-Louis region, Senegal, GeoTiff file and shape files EPSG:3857 Key Variables/Indicators flood water height buildings classified per occupancy type buildings exposure Data Format The hazard data is in GeoTiff files; building types and exposure analysis results are zip files containing ESRI Shapefiles. Source Data OpenStreetMap, Google Open Buildings, Microsoft ML Building Accessibility doi.org Stakeholder Relevance Used for determining which buildings are most endangered for flood events, as a basis for early warning and risk-informed planning Limitations/Assumptions Disclaimer – This dataset is provided solely for research purposes.
