Archived - Flood Susceptibility Index (FSI)
This dataset is archived, please refer to:
- [Collection – Flood Susceptibility Mapping]( https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/1074f781-85d3-4c86-86cb-fd1c339197dc) for the new release.
This national map of flood susceptibility or flood prone areas is based on patterns of historic flood events as predicted by an ensemble machine learning model.
The recommended use is national, provincial or regional scale and can be used as a guide for identifying areas for further investigation. The Flood Susceptibility Index (FSI) Dataset, while processed and available at 30m cell size, is not recommended for use at the pixel or street level, given the uncertainty in the modelling process and the variability of results as discussed in https://www.mdpi.com/2673-4931/25/1/18 .
