Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for a flood-recovery analysis tool. One method includes operations for generating a prediction of water depth in a geographical region based on weather data for the geographical region and topography data for the geographical region, and causing presentation of a flood inundation map showing the prediction of water depth in a user interface of a display device. The user interface includes an option for entering flood mitigation measures. Further, the method includes operations for receiving the flood mitigation measures via the user interface, updating the topography data to include the received flood mitigation measures, and generating an updated prediction of the water depth in the geographical region based on the updated topography data. An updated flood inundation map is presented in the user interface showing the updated prediction of the water depth and a geographical location of the flood mitigation measures.
