INTRODUCTION TO THE ECFAS IMPACT APPROACH

Test how much you have learned after following the e-learning module.

1. The ECFAS impact approach was developed considering three main principles. Which one of the listed is not correct?

1 point

A. object-based impact methods were preferred to grid-based ones

B. impact models based on exposure evaluation only were preferred to vulnerability-based ones

C. probabilistic approaches were applied when data and model availability allowed it

2. The ECFAS impact approach for population is based on: *

1 point

A. a grid-based approach, considering the exposure of people on the flooded area, including an evaluation of the uncertainty of the outcome

B. an object-based approach, considering flood damage curves

C. a grid-based approach, considering the exposure of people on the flooded area and the social vulnerability of the people

3. The ECFAS impact approach for population is based on the combined use of:

1 point

A. the Open Street Map dataset of buildings, and the Copernicus Coastal Zone layer

B. the ENACT-POP and GHS-POP datasets

C. the GHS-POP dataset and, and the Copernicus Coastal Zone layer

4. Following the ECFAS approach, the uncertainty associated to the assessed impact to building is:

1 point

A. based on the resampling of the maximum damage

B. there is no associated uncertainty to impact to buildings

C. based on the implementation of multiple flood damage curves, i.e. multi-model ensemble

5. Following the ECFAS approach, the uncertainty associated to the assessed impact to roads, based on Van Ginkel et al. (2021), includes:

1 point

A. two components, one related to the resampling of the construction costs from the literature, the other related to the use of multiple damage curves

B. a component related to the resampling of the maximum damage

C. a component related to the use of multiple damage curves

6. Following the ECFAS approach, the impact on land use was implemented for: *

1 point

A. agriculture only

B. agriculture, ecosystems and commercial activities

C. agriculture, ecosystems and nuclear plant lands

7. The validation of the ECFAS impact approach, was implemented focusing on: *

1 point

A. the entire EU coasts

B. three major case studies of extreme coastal storms, one in France, one in UK and one in Spain

C. no validation was implemented

8. The validation of the ECFAS impact approach, was implemented considering: *

1 point

A. population, buildings and railways only

B. buildings and roads only

C. population, buildings and roads only

9. The ECFAS impact modelled results were compared with:

1 point

A. satellite-derived data and geolocalized impacts retrieved from the thorough analysis of the ECFAS Database of Resources

B. institutional reports only

C. news from media only

10. The ECFAS impact approach was applied to:

1 point

A. the flood maps generated for a selected number of test cases around Europe, only

B. the flood maps produced by the Member States to comply with the Floods Directive 2007/60/EC

C. the flood maps of the ECFAS Flood Catalogue
