Description:
DamaGIS: a multisource geodatabase for collection of flood-related damage data Clotilde Saint-Martin, Pierre Javelle, and Freddy Vinet Earth Syst. Sci. Data Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/essd-2018-28,2018 Manuscript under review for ESSD (discussion: open, 2 comments) DamaGIS is a GIS database which aims to collect and assess flood-related damage data at the local scale. The reason for creating this database was the lack of precise damage data available to calibrate and validate flood risk assessment models. To this end, DamaGIS offers highly precise and easily accessible flood-related damage data. It uses multiple sources such as social networks. Since 2011, 729 damage caused by 23 flood events in the South of France have been reported within the database.
