Data
Built on decades of scientific expertise, our flood data offers detailed, location-specific analytics to support effective risk management today and in the future.
Flood data for any location worldwide
JBA Flood Data is the largest and most comprehensive data suite available for understanding both current and potential future flood risk anywhere in the world.
Easily accessible and regularly updated with the latest flood risk intelligence, the location-level data covers river and surface water flooding worldwide, with coastal available in specific regions.
By using the latest science, JBA Flood Data provides insights into current-day flood risks and future scenarios, ranging from moderate to extreme. This allows you to gain a thorough understanding of potential flood impacts today and in the future.
Current day and future climate change scenarios
Whether you’re looking at current conditions or future climate change projections, our flood data is available in several formats, making it easy for you to select the one that works best for your business.-
Quantify current and future flood depths
Derived from JBA’s high-resolution flood maps, our Flood Depth Data enables you to quantify current flood depths to better understand today’s flood risks. The Climate Change Flood Depth Data indicates potential changes at any location, under multiple future scenarios and time horizons. By comparing baseline and climate change flood depths, you can identify areas where flooding may become more or less severe in a future scenario.

Access easy to understand flood risk ratings
JBA’s Flood Scores combine potential flood depths and frequency to provide easy-to-understand ratings of flood risk, ranging from negligible to significant for different flood types. The easy-to-use quantitative scores offer detailed differentiation of a location’s overall susceptibility to flood. The Climate Change Flood Scores allow for quick comparisons with baseline scores, helping you assess how climate change could alter the risk of flood.

Get a quick view of flood risk
The JBA Floodability rating system provides a straightforward view of flood risk at a specific location using a colour-coded scale from low to very high risk. The Climate Change Floodability data can be directly compared to the baseline, enabling you to assess potential changes in future risk.
-
Estimate future flood damage costs
Our Pricing Data combines flood hazard and vulnerability to estimate the average annual cost of flood damage as a proportion of the total sum insured. Climate Change Pricing Data projects how these costs could shift under different climate scenarios and time horizons at property level, giving you a clear comparison with baseline data to understand potential changes in future flood damage costs.
