The document discusses plans for a new facility called the iD-Lab at Deltares. The iD-Lab will be used to develop and demonstrate innovative interactive and collaborative data tools for forecasting, warning, and responding to flood events. It will contain a work space, demonstration area, and visualization equipment. The facility will also have an IT backend to support data storage, modeling, and linking to external computing resources. Various research projects and disaster management demonstrations are proposed to take place at the iD-Lab.

Global models in development Building up FEWS environment Goal: Run 3 global models daily
•Flood model
•Tide/storm surge model
•Drought model
Supporting
•Global Flood Partnership,
•BuZa DRR missions
•WMO / Worldbank
•Research activities

12. Pilot project example: Risk Analysis Tool
3 november 2014
An Operational FEWS-Risk Analysis Tool - provide flood impact forecasting as decision support for disaster risk reduction The tool will help to answer questions such as: “Where should I put my sandbags?” “Which areas should I evacuate first?”
It fit’s well into the purpose of the iD-LAB in terms of:
•focus on Disaster Risk Reduction services
•a strong demonstration of Deltares’ state of the art capabilities in forecasting, decision support, flood risk management and flood impact assessment Contact: Ferdinand Diermanse, Annemargreet de Leeuw and Dirk Eilander (RAW)
Consequences (economic, people at risk etc.)
