Feature: Raster Tsunami impact on landuse

We have added a new Impact Function for assessing the impact of tsunami raster layers on landuse polygons. The Impact Function will convert the raster layer into polygons based on the hazard thresholds (dry, low, medium, high and very high). By default the thresholds are set to:

  • Dry: 0m
  • Low: < 1m
  • Medium: >= 1m < 3m
  • High: >= 3m < 8m
  • Very High: > 8m

When the impact function has completed, the impact layer will be comprised of the exposure layer clipped to the analysis extents and intersected with the hazard zone polygons.

The following actions will be reported on:

  • What type of crops are planted in the affected fields?
  • How long will the activity or function of the land cover be disturbed?
  • What proportion of the land cover is damaged?
  • What potential losses will result from the land cover damage?
  • How much productivity will be lost during this event?
  • Which crops were ready for harvest during this event?
  • What is the ownership system of the land/crops/field?
  • Are the land/crops/field accessible after the event?
  • What urgent actions can be taken to normalize the land/crops/field?
  • What tools or equipment are needed for early recovery of the land/crops/field?
