 The FLODIS dataset is a comprehensive resource for understanding the impacts of floods on people and economies. It combines data on displaced populations, fatalities, and economic losses with satellite imagery of flooded areas to create a spatially explicit picture of the flood hazards associated with different disaster events. This allows researchers to better understand how floods affect different regions and communities, and to identify areas where additional protection measures are needed.
