Project Mosaic.PT – Multi-Source flood risk analysis for safe coastal communities and sustainable development - Final Report

Abstract

The final technical report of the project Mosaic.pt – multi-source flood risk analysis for safe coastal communities and sustainable development (ref. PTDC/CTA-AMB/28909/2017) is presented. The project was funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia) and took place between 2018 and 2022. The project aimed to develop tools to support coastal flood risk management, based on the integration of predictive models and real-time monitoring data, and taking into account territorial diversity. The main outcomes included: knowledge improvement on historical coastal flooding occurrences and associated damages along the continental Portuguese coast, and the definition of critical coastal typologies and risk factors; increase capacity for coastal flooding prediction with the development, implementation and validation of a real-time prediction system at a local scale that incorporates models and data; development and implementation of a WebGIS platform to access multi-source data that can be used as a decisionsupport tool.
