Flood Risk Information System for Adaptation Measures and Evaluation in Central Vietnam - (FRAME) - GeoNode Facilitation

Kurzfassung

The Flood Risk Information System for Adaptation Measures and Evaluation (FRAME) is an online tool developed for Thua Thien Hue province in Central Vietnam, aimed at helping local decision-makers plan for floods more effectively. It's part of the Integrating Ecosystem-based Approaches into Flood Risk Management for Adaptive and Sustainable Urban Development in Central Viet Nam (FloodAdaptVN) project, designed to address the growing challenges of climate change and flooding. FRAME provides easy access to data on land use, urban assets, and flood scenarios, including the costs of different adaptation measures. The tool evaluates measures for reducing and adapting to flood risk, emphasising their effectiveness in impact mitigation, costefficiency, and sustainability, and serves as decision support tool. It uses GeoNode technology, making it easy to deploy and customise for other regions if needed. This paper explains how FRAME works, its key features, and its potential benefits for flood risk management. This is the first of a series of publications revolving around the functionalities of FRAME and focus here is set on technical necessities and orchestration aspects within GeoNode, to support the requirements defined within FloodAdaptVN.
