Background: With climate-related incidents becoming more commonplace, Stockholm Municipality and the Traffic Administration Authority wanted to fully understand the implications of flooding in the city to develop and implement effective contingency plans in the event of a cloudburst.
Challenge: Analyse and define the risks and vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure and the impact on inhabitants in Stockholm City and the surrounding region.
Solution: Risk analysis reports were created using digital rainfall tools and risk models that determine where stormwater will gather and flow, the impacts, and which critical entities need to be protected or rehoused.
Benefits: Stockholm Municipality can better prepare for cloudbursts and other flooding scenarios and take appropriate action to protect society and people’s lives.
