OSS St Louis platform

The SCO St Louis mapping platform is freely accessible and allows anyone to select and combine different layers of information: Flood simulations according to different IPCC scenarios, with or without storm and/or Senegal River flooding Vegetation cover using the NDVI standardized index Past historic floods DEM digital elevation model Land use Vulnerability of neighborhoods to rising sea levels Location of essential infrastructure In addition to technical developments, the project has focused on assessing local stakeholders perception of risk through field surveys and an analysis of the literature and current adaptation projects. While the characterization of essential and critical issues and infrastructures depends on the existence of reliable and recent in situ data, the method for analyzing local stakeholders' perception of risk and the framework for designing the monitoring system can be replicated in other cities to provide input for strategies for adapting to climate change in coastal areas and coastal cities of the future.
