It consists mainly of a) a component to calculate the Flood Resilience Index (FRI) and assess the vulnerability of a city against extreme events, b) search functionality enabling the identification of engineering, environmental and operational measures for adaptation and mitigation, c) possibility to inspect the results of documented applications of resilience measures around the globe and d) a repository of publications metadata and other sources that describe resilience measures and document their effectiveness.
