The JBA 5m Continental Europe flood maps are the highest resolution available at national scale for improved flood risk assessment across the region.

Event sets and catastrophe modelling must be global in order for international re/insurers to fully understand flood risk to their portfolio. But how can that be achieved given the need for data consistency and in light of computational demands?

With an estimated 85% of the world left unmodelled, we explore why global flood model coverage is vital and what losses might look like worldwide using the first probabilistic global flood model.
