This system uses machine learning to produce a national map of Canada showing how likely each area is to experience flooding, based on historical flood data and climate and hydro-geomorphological variables. It is used by Government of Canada employees for planning and analysis purposes. Members of the public are not directly informed when this tool influences decisions. The model is an ensemble machine learning approach trained on patterns from past flood events.
