Flood Susceptibility Analysis

Terrain-based flood susceptibility analysis using TWI, log-transformed flow accumulation, inverse slope, inverse stream distance, and inverse TPI. Produces a Flood Susceptibility Index (FSI) scaled 0-100 with 5-level classification.

Inputs:

• Terrain Analysis Package (ZIP). ZIP file from Comprehensive Terrain Analysis containing DEM, slope, TWI, flow accumulation, TPI, streams, flow direction, and manifest.json

• Weight: TWI. Weight for the Topographic Wetness Index indicator (default: 0.30)

• Weight: Flow Accumulation. Weight for the log-transformed flow accumulation indicator (default: 0.25)

• Weight: Slope (inverted). Weight for the inverted slope indicator — flat areas have higher flood risk (default: 0.20)

• Weight: Stream Distance (inverted). Weight for the inverted stream distance indicator — closer to streams means higher risk (default: 0.15)

• Weight: TPI (inverted). Weight for the inverted TPI indicator — depressions have higher flood risk (default: 0.10)

• Hotspot Threshold. FSI value above which areas are classified as flood hotspots (default: 70)

• Spectral Indices Package (ZIP). Optional ZIP from spectral_indices with vegetation index aggregates. When provided, a vegetation indicator is added to the weighted overlay.

• Weight: Vegetation Index. Weight for the vegetation index indicator (default: 0.10). Only used when spectral_zip is provided. Other weights are scaled down proportionally.

Outputs:

• Flood Analysis Package (ZIP). ZIP archive with flood susceptibility rasters, vectors, statistics, and manifest

• Summary. Human-readable summary of the flood analysis results

• Manifest JSON. JSON manifest string describing all outputs
