Climate Thursdays, Series of webinars on climate services and innovation
30 July 2020 - h. 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM CEST

Panelists:
Stefano Bagli, GECOsistema srl: "SaferPLACES a cloud web platform for mapping flood hazard and risk in urban areas"
Roberta Padulano, Fondazione CMCC: "Modelling extreme pluvial flooding in urban areas under climate change conditions"

This webinar is organised by the Climate KIC funded SaferPLACES (https://saferplaces.co/), H2020 CLARA (Climate forecasts enabled knowledge services, http://www.clara-project.eu/) and the Copernicus Pluvial Flood Risk Assessment in Urban Areas (https://climate.copernicus.eu/pluvial-flood-risk-assessment-urban-areas).

This webinar will address the modern climate services estimating the pluvial hazard and risk modelling in urban contexts.
The SaferPLACES cloud web platform is dedicated to mapping flood hazard and risk in urban areas and supporting climate resilience. It employs simplified digital elevation model-based techniques to estimate flood hazard.
The Copernicus C3S takes the approach even further and demonstrates its applicability across 20 European cities.
During the webinar, strategies and approaches to model extreme rainfall events and model floods will be shown, also from a perspective of climate change-amplified rainfall intensities.
