Brief Communication: Simple-INSYDE, development of a new tool for flood damage evaluation from an existing synthetic model
Marta Galliani, Daniela Molinari, Francesco Ballio
Abstract
Abstract. INSYDE is a multivariable, synthetic model for flood damage assessment to dwellings. The analysis and use of this model highlighted some weaknesses, linked to its complexity, that can undermine its usability and correct implementation. This study proposes a simplified version of INSYDE which maintains its multivariable and synthetic nature but has simpler mathematical formulations permitting easier use and a direct analysis of the relation between damage and its explanatory variables.
