Ecuador Flash Flood Susceptibility Index (FFSI) based on catchment hypsometry, drainage and surface characteristics
The flash-flood susceptibility index (FFSI) represents the relative potential of Ecuador catchments to generate a flash flood when significant local rainfall occurs. The FFSI is calculated for each HydroSHEDS level 12 catchment units of Ecuador, using a weighted mean of 7 commonly used flash flood drivers related to the hypsometry, drainage network, and surface properties of catchments.
