The Flood-Resilient Integrated City Governance solution represents an innovative tool built upon current state-of-the-art suite of flood management, as well as smart sensors and technological infrastructures. The solution is built upon the SaferPlaces (Global Platform AI-based Digital Twin Solution for Flood Risk Intelligence) that offers an advanced, scalable, and policy-relevant framework for supporting cities in the transition toward climate-resilient and flood-resilient urban systems. Main characteristics of the proposed solution are:
– Comprehensive multi-hazard coverage, including pluvial, fluvial, and coastal flooding, enabling coherent planning across multiple risk types.
– Cloud-based, high-performance modelling, enabling rapid scenario analysis and real-time flood simulations without the need for specialized local infrastructure.
– Data-rich digital twin of the city, integrating geospatial, climate, and Earth-observation data to provide a high-fidelity representation of local flood drivers.
– Advanced AI-supported forecasting, providing real-time estimates of water levels and flood propagation that enhance early-warning capacities for civil-protection authorities.
– Data-process capacity for real-time monitoring of critical situations and timely intervention.
– User-friendly web platform and API enabling multilevel accessibility (e.g., municipalities, utilities, planners, insurers) and customization for technical partners (e.g., authorities, civil protection agencies, etc.).
