Quick presentation

floodam.building is an utility implemented as an R package (R Core Team 2018) which produces damage functions at the building level.

floodam.building has been developed for the purpose of developing the French national damage functions (Rouchon et al. 2018). So far, it has been used to:

  • estimate the French national damage functions for activities;
  • perform uncertainty analyses of the French national damage functions for dwellings;
  • estimate the potential efficacy and efficiency of some measures aimed at reducing the vulnerability of dwellings to flooding;
  • appraise a “Plan de Prévention des Risques d’Inondation” (PPRI)1.
