- This paper reports the first group validation of a new class of global river flood hazard model, an important milestone in this emerging field. Notable uptake by the Global Flood Partnership members (see 2018, 2019 workshop reports, https://gfp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/resources). Important usability implications for model developers and users like the World Bank, UN, and DFID in responding to disasters using global flood model data (often the only data initially available) – for example, Cyclone Idai 2019. The work is highlighted as a good example of scientific rigour and accountability in flood mapping to support disaster response better (https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.13547).
