World Flood Mapping Tool

One result of climate change is increased flooding risks, including flash floods that can devastate communities. In fact, in the summer of 2021, devastating floods in Europe affected several countries with little advance warning, leading to many deaths and wide-scale property damage. Now flooding risk mapping has taken increased importance with the rise in risks from flooding. The threats of flooding are even more severe for countries with poor records. New tools attempt to mitigate these risks and help communities better prepare for future flooding.
