Ordnance Survey works with Snowflake to tackle flood risk | Computer Weekly

"The model combines OS's buildings data with a range of government data and current FRMPs, integrating six critical data streams into a single 'structural intelligence' layer."

"Snowflake and OS estimated that up to 68% of the buildings identified could be highly vulnerable to the after-effects of flooding, especially in deprived areas."

The Intelligent Flood Readiness model, developed by Ordnance Survey and Snowflake, assesses flooding impact using AI. It identifies 1.2 million individuals in England at risk of inadequate flood protection, particularly in deprived regions. The model aids policymakers by analyzing detailed data rather than broad geographic areas, allowing for targeted flood risk management. It integrates multiple data streams, including building data and deprivation indices, to highlight intersections of physical vulnerability and social risk, estimating that 68% of identified buildings are highly vulnerable to flooding effects.
