Introduction
Fathom-UK CAT has been built in tandem with Fathom’s flood hazard data for the UK. The probabilistic model uniquely characterises the relationship between flood depth and damage in a variety of contexts. This includes the differentiation of damage in residential and non-residential buildings.
