Webinar: Assessment and Management of City Flood Resilience

Climate change is expected to worsen the frequency, intensity, and impact of extreme weather events. In an urban environment, the runoff generated by intense rainstorms quickly inundates streets and buildings threatening the safety of people and assets. The resulting damages are more frequently impacting the budgets of municipalities and private citizens.

This webinar showcases how experts are developing comprehensive methodologies and strategies for flood risk assessment and flood management.

Paolo Tamagnone, flood modeler and scientist from RSS-Hydro, shares his innovative work in developing a high-resolution pluvial flood risk assessment at the city scale using the city of Differdange, Luxembourg's third largest city, as a real-world example.

You'll see how extreme rainfall events are analysed through the implementation of a fully coupled 1D/2D hydraulic model enabling the representation of both surface water and sewer flows and gain insight into the development of mitigation strategies that will enable authorities to improve warning systems and emergency plans.

InfoWorks ICM (Integrated Catchment Modeling) enables the hydraulics and hydrology of natural and man-made environments to be incorporated into a single model. It is the first integrated modeling platform to incorporate both urban and river catchments, with full integration of 1D and 2D modeling techniques both below ground and above ground.
