The project aims to strengthen coastal communities’ resilience through better forecasting and projecting compound flood risk. Using machine learning techniques, PRINTFLOODS seeks to advance existing state-of-the-art prediction models for coastal, riverine and compound flood risk to better inform decision-making. The applications that PRINTFLOODS aims to support are anticipatory humanitarian actions and index-based insurance, to reduce the impacts of floods induced by episodic extreme weather events like tropical cyclones, and by sea level rise caused by climate change.
