GeoRetina Atlas Opens 100 Flood Maps

GeoRetina’s strongest move is turning complex GPU-based flood simulations into a browsable, citable public resource. Its usefulness is real, but the maps must be treated as screening tools—not official flood designations.

• –Covers 2,000 city-scenario combinations spanning 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year rainfall events across multiple storm durations.
• –Uses lidar terrain, satellite-derived land cover, soil data, and national rainfall statistics in an in-house Rust simulation workflow.
• –Models surface-water flooding only; storm sewers, rivers, coastal flooding, groundwater, and building interiors are excluded.
• –Immutable releases make results reproducible and easier to cite for research, journalism, planning, and developer projects.
• –Transparent access lowers the barrier to exploring flood risk, while decision-grade analysis remains part of GeoRetina AI’s broader platform.
