The document summarizes a study analyzing the cascading effects of coastal and pluvial flooding on critical infrastructure in Torbay, UK under climate change. The study uses models to simulate flooding scenarios and assess impacts on roads, buildings, utilities and other infrastructure now and in the future. Results are visualized in a serious game and 3D environment linked to maps. The goal is to understand direct and indirect consequences of flooding events on communities in Torbay.

5. EU-Circle Torbay Case study
Flooding scenarios to be tested as part of case study
Coastal Flooding (1 in 200 year event)
Pluvial/Fluvial Flooding (1 in 100 year event)
Joint probability Event (Coastal: 1 in 50 year event, Pluvial: 1 in 100 year event)
Resilience (1 in 200 year event, Paignton only)
Climate change scenarios
Now, 20 years, 50 years (joint probability and resilience scenario only) and 100 years
Questions to be answered as part of the case study
What roads are closed due to Xm depth of flooding?
How many residential and commercial properties would be flooded?
Identify all critical infra (assets) affected directly or indirectly by flooding?
How many residents are affected by the storm event in question?
What is the cost of a particular storm event?
