Details

Rapid Evidence Assessments (REAs) have begun to consider two key technical areas of investigation identified within NaFRA2.

These projects aim to synthesise current knowledge on the:

• use of emulation to extend observational records of flood risk loading events
• current state of the art on combining probabilistic and deterministic models
• REAs provide a balanced assessment of what’s already known about an issue, by using systematic review methods to search and critically appraise existing research.

The expected completion date is winter 2023/24.
