ProMaIDes - Software

ProMaIDes is an integrated flood risk management software that we are using for our analyses because of its ability to combine probabilities with a wide range of consequences, such as those affecting critical infrastructure networks.The analysis and management of flood risk are as versatile as the societies they aim to protect. This process requires an understanding that begins with a drop of water falling from the sky, followed by surface run-off, the dynamics of water bodies and their inundation, and finally the variety of consequences that may occur. For quantifying flood risk, the inclusion of probabilities or, for testing and developing measures, various models can be utilised to better understand each of these processes. This often requires different applications and transitions from one software to another. For example, the software used to model inundation areas may differ from the software used to determine the consequences of that inundation.The ProMaIDes software, developed primarily by Prof. Daniel Bachmann at the University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal, integrates software capabilities from the initial water drop to the consequences, allowing users to derive risk as a combination of probabilities and consequences. A unique feature of ProMaIDes is that it allows for the consideration of various consequences: impacts on the population, economic damages, ecological damages, cultural site considerations, and, most importantly, the effects on critical infrastructure networks.The software can continuously evolve to meet the needs of various applications and is highly beneficial for the work done at Adaptlantis.
