Service Description:

Flooding is when there is an overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry. Floods can happen due to overflowing rivers, lakes, or oceans, and are often caused by heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, when dams or levees break, or a storm surge from a tropical cyclone or tsunami in coastal areas. Flood events can impact businesses' operations as well as across their value chain by causing closure of operations, supply chain disruptions and transportation or increased capital costs.

The Water Risk Filter risk category flooding considers historical patterns and future trends. The historical patterns are based on empirical evidence of large flood events since 1985 to present, derived from a wide variety of news, governmental, instrumental, and remote sensing sources. Future trends are based on ensemble projections that apply both global climate and hydrological models to compute projected changes in frequency of floods in a 2°C scenario. See the specific risk indicator layers for more details.
