description: The European Copernicus Coastal Flood Awareness System (ECFAS) project will contribute to the evolution of the Copernicus Emergency Monitoring Service by demonstrating the technical and operational feasibility of a European Coastal Flood Awareness System. Specifically, ECFAS will provide a much-needed solution to bolster coastal resilience to climate risk and reduce population and infrastructure exposure by monitoring and supporting disaster preparedness, two factors that are fundamental to damage prevention and recovery if a storm hits. The ECFAS Proof-of-Concept development will run from January 2021-December 2022. The ECFAS project is a collaboration between Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori IUSS di Pavia (Italy, ECFAS Coordinator), Mercator Ocean International (France), Planetek Hellas (Greece), Collecte Localisation Satellites (France), Consorzio Futuro in Ricerca (Italy), Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain), University of the Aegean (Greece), and EurOcean (Portugal), and is funded by the European Commission H2020 Framework Programme within the call LC-SPACE-18-EO-2020 - Copernicus evolution: research activities in support of the evolution of the Copernicus services. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme <strong>The deliverables will have restricted access at least until the end of ECFAS</strong> <em>Description of the containing files inside the Dataset.</em> The ECFAS Pan-EU Impact Catalogue collects impact layers associated to the flood scenarios contained in the ECFAS Pan-EU Flood Catalogue. To produce the Flood Catalogue, the coast was divided into geographic regions embracing similar oceanographic conditions, and subsequently into coastal sectors. The coastal sectors can be identified by its region index RXXX and its own index CSYYY. Impacts associated to the flood maps were calculated following the approach described in the technical document of the ECFAS Deliverable 5.3 Algorithms for Impact Assessment (ECFAS Impact Tool; Duo et al., 2021). The ECFAS Impact Tool was adapted to assess the affected population, the damage to buildings, roads and railways and the exposure of a variety of other assets (e.g. agriculture, points of interest, etc.) for the flood scenarios included in the ECFAS Flood Catalogue. The shapefile of the polygons defining the coastal sectors as defined for the catalogue implementation is included in the database. The Impact Catalogue is accompanied by a technical document describing methods, datasets, structure, format and content of the ECFAS Flood and Impact Catalogues: Duo, E., Le Gal, M., Souto Ceccon, P.E., Montes Pérez, J., 2022.
