DYNAMIC FLOOD RISK DATA MANAGEMENT
A system, method, and computer program product for managing flood risk analysis. The system includes at least one processing component, at least one memory component, and a data manager configured to define a ledger for a zone, and extract flood data for the zone from at least one information source. The system also includes a risk analyzer configured to generate flood attribute values based on the extracted flood data. The risk analyzer is also configured to calculate a zone risk score based on these values, determine that the zone risk score is above a threshold risk score, and in response, instruct the data manager to add a block to the ledger.
1 . A system, comprising:
at least one processing component;
at least one memory component;
a data manager configured to:
define a ledger for a zone; and
extract flood data for the zone from at least one information source; and
a risk analyzer configured to:
generate flood attribute values based on the extracted flood data;
calculate a zone risk score based on the flood attribute values;
determine that the zone risk score is above a threshold risk score; and
in response to the determining, instruct the data manager to add a block to the ledger.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the risk analyzer is further configured to calculate a location risk score for a location based on the zone risk score and user-input information about the location.
3 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising a report generator configured to generate a risk report for the location.
4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the user-input information includes a lot drainage type.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data manager is further configured to:
extract additional flood data for the zone from the at least one information source; and
wherein the risk analyzer is further configured to:
generate additional flood attribute values based on the additional flood data;
calculate an updated zone risk score based on the additional flood attribute values;
determine that the updated zone risk score is outside a threshold risk score range; and
in response to the determining, instruct the data manager to add a next block to the ledger.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one information source includes weather data.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one information source includes insurance claims.
8 . A method, comprising:
defining a ledger for a zone;
extracting flood data for the zone from at least one information source;
generating flood attribute values based on the extracted flood data;
calculating a zone risk score based on the flood attribute values;
determining that the zone risk score is above a threshold risk score; and
in response to the determining, adding a block to the ledger.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising calculating a location risk score for a location based on the zone risk score and user-input information about the location.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising generating a risk report for the location.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the user-input information includes a lot drainage type.
12 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
extracting additional flood data for the zone from the at least one information source;
generating additional flood attribute values based on the additional flood data;
calculating an updated zone risk score based on the additional flood attribute values;
determining that the updated zone risk score is outside a threshold risk score range; and
in response to the determining, adding a next block to the ledger.
13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one information source includes weather data.
14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one information source includes insurance claims.
15 . A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause a device to perform a method, the method comprising:
defining a ledger for a zone;
extracting flood data for the zone from at least one information source;
generating flood attribute values based on the extracted flood data;
calculating a zone risk score based on the flood attribute values;
determining that the zone risk score is above a threshold risk score; and
in response to the determining, adding a block to the ledger.
16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising calculating a location risk score for a location based on the zone risk score and user-input information about the location.
17 . The computer program product of claim 16 , further comprising generating a risk report for the location.
18 . The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising:
extracting additional flood data for the zone from the at least one information source;
generating additional flood attribute values based on the additional flood data;
calculating an updated zone risk score based on the additional flood attribute values;
determining that the updated zone risk score is outside a threshold risk score range; and
in response to the determining, adding a next block to the ledger.
19 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the at least one information source includes insurance claims.
20 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the at least one information source includes weather data.
