Coastal dataset including exposure and vulnerability layers, Deliverable 3.1 - ECFAS Project (GA 101004211), www.ecfas.eu
<p>The European Copernicus Coastal Flood Awareness System (ECFAS) project aimed at contributing to the evolution of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (https://emergency.copernicus.eu/) by demonstrating the technical and operational feasibility of a European Coastal Flood Awareness System. Specifically, ECFAS provides a much-needed solution to bolster coastal resilience to climate risk and reduce population and infrastructure exposure by monitoring and supporting disaster preparedness, two factors that are fundamental to damage prevention and recovery if a storm hits.</p><p>The ECFAS Proof-of-Concept development ran from January 2021 to December 2022. The ECFAS project was a collaboration between Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS di Pavia (Italy, ECFAS Coordinator), Mercator Ocean International (France), Planetek Hellas (Greece), Collecte Localisation Satellites (France), Consorzio Futuro in Ricerca (Italy), Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain), University of the Aegean (Greece), and EurOcean (Portugal), and was funded by the <strong>European Commission H2020 Framework Programme</strong> within the call LC-SPACE-18-EO-2020 - Copernicus evolution: research activities in support of the evolution of the Copernicus services.</p><p><i><strong>Description of the containing files inside the Dataset.</strong></i></p><p>The ECFAS Coastal Dataset represents a single access point to publicly available Pan-European datasets that provide key information for studying coastal areas. The publicly available datasets listed below have been clipped to the coastal area extent, quality-checked and assessed for completeness and usability in terms of coverage, accuracy, specifications and access. The dataset was divided at European country level, except for the Adriatic area which was extracted as a region and not at the country level due to the small size of the countries. The buffer zone of each data was 10km inland in order to be correlated with the new Copernicus product Coastal Zone LU/LC.</p><p>Specifically, the dataset includes the new Coastal LU/LC product which was implemented by the EEA and became available at the end of 2020. Additional information collected in relation to the location and characteristics of transport (road and railway) and utility networks (power plants), population density and time variability. Furthermore, some of the publicly available datasets that were used in CEMS related to the above mentioned assets were gathered such as OpenStreetMap (building footprints, road and railway network infrastructures), GeoNames (populated places but also names of administrative units, rivers and lakes, forests, hills and mountains, parks and recreational areas, etc.), the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHS) and Global Human Settlement Population Grid (GHS-POP) generated by JRC. Also, the dataset contains 2 layers with statistics information regarding the population of Europe per sex and age divided in administrative units at NUTS level 3. The first layer includes information for the whole of Europe and the second layer has only the information regarding the population at the Coastal area. Finally, the dataset includes the global database of Floods protection standards.

Identification of local thresholds of TWL for triggering the European coastal flood awareness system, Deliverable 4.3 – Report on the identification of local thresholds of TWL for triggering coastal flooding - ECFAS project (GA 101004211). www.ecfas.eu

To this end, it was necessary to identify both a total water level triggering threshold, used as a local reference to trigger the system in case of forecasted TWL exceedence, and a duration threshold, used to set the storm duration. In order to compute both thresholds, an Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) and a Duration Analysis (DA) were performed on the ECFAS combined hindcast. As the local TWL thresholds (triggering and duration) were identified using the ECFAS combined hindcast, and the system will instead be operative with the input of CMEMS forecast, a methodology was developed to establish a correction to be applied before integrating the thresholds into the warning system. The document also describes some limitations and possible future improvements of the employed methodology.</p><p>The Deliverable 4.3 - Report on the identification of local thresholds of TWL for triggering coastal flooding is accompanied by an accessory data file. This file, named "ThresholdsFile.csv", contains the values of the triggering and duration thresholds for all the ECFAS combined hindcast of TWL points and their coordinates.</p><p>This <strong>ECFAS Thresholds Dataset</strong> is made available under the <strong>Open Database License</strong>: <a href="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/">http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/</a>.

For each coastal sector, flood models were developed using the LISFLOOD-FP model with a grid resolution of 100 m. The flood model configuration follows the recommendation highlighted in ECFAS Deliverable D5.2 - Validated LISFLOOD-FP model for coastal areas. The flood and velocity maps are associated with synthetic storms that are characterised by a specific extreme water level and storm duration. These parameters were derived from Extreme Value Analyses performed on the ECFAS ANYEU-SSL hindcast (ECFAS D4.1 - Report on the calibration and validation of hindcasts and forecasts of TWL and D4.3 - Report on the identification of local thresholds of TWL for triggering coastal flooding). Five extreme water level values for each coastal point of the hindcast, and three durations (12, 24 and 36 h) were identified leading to 15 scenarios for each coastal sector. The flood and velocity maps are gathered into a NetCDF file for each coastal sector indicating the scenario parameters as attributes. In addition, the extreme water level values used for each coastal sector are contained in a complementary NetCDF file.</p> <p>The shapefile of the polygons defining the coastal sectors as defined for the catalogue implementation is included in the database.</p> <p><strong>- The ECFAS Flood Catalogue was used to produce the associated ECFAS Pan-EU Impact Catalogue:</strong></p> <p><strong>Impact Catalogue in Zenodo</strong>: Duo, E., Montes Pérez, J., Le Gal, M., Souto Ceccon, P.E., Cabrita, P., Fernández Montblanc, T., and Ciavola, P., 2022.

Database of extreme events, test cases selection and available data, Deliverable 5.1 – ECFAS Project (GA 101004211), www.ecfas.eu
<p>The European Copernicus Coastal Flood Awareness System (ECFAS) project aimed at contributing to the evolution of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (https://emergency.copernicus.eu/) by demonstrating the technical and operational feasibility of a European Coastal Flood Awareness System. Specifically, ECFAS provides a much-needed solution to bolster coastal resilience to climate risk and reduce population and infrastructure exposure by monitoring and supporting disaster preparedness, two factors that are fundamental to damage prevention and recovery if a storm hits.</p> <p>The ECFAS Proof-of-Concept development ran from January 2021 to December 2022. The ECFAS project was a collaboration between Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS di Pavia (Italy, ECFAS Coordinator), Mercator Ocean International (France), Planetek Hellas (Greece), Collecte Localisation Satellites (France), Consorzio Futuro in Ricerca (Italy), Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain), University of the Aegean (Greece), and EurOcean (Portugal), and was funded by the <strong>European Commission H2020 Framework Programme</strong> within the call LC-SPACE-18-EO-2020 - Copernicus evolution: research activities in support of the evolution of the Copernicus services. </p> <p><em><strong>Reference literature:</strong></em></p> <p><strong>Souto-Ceccon, P.

It includes the collection and identification of events, locations and available information on the test cases.</p> <p>The purpose of the ECFAS database is to provide a source of information on extreme coastal events and locations that experienced coastal flooding, considering both hazard and impact aspects. Thus, the database collects events, sites and available information to support further investigation on specific test cases. Test cases are defined here as specific sites where an extreme event that generated flooding and damage occurred. The time frame considered for the analysis is between 2010 and 2020 in order to use recent satellite imagery with good resolution and including, if possible, overlap with Sentinel missions.</p> <p>The product includes three files: 1) an Excel file with the inventory; 2) an accompanying report that includes the guidelines to use the inventory, other relevant information on the method used to implement the inventory and the sources of information; 3) the test cases polygons in .geojson format.</p> <p>This ECFAS Database is made available under the <strong>Open Database License</strong>: <a href="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/">http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/</a>.
