Organizations should footnote all assumptions used including source of data.
This metric intends to capture the flood risk level(s) of the region(s) and communities targeted by the organization during the reporting period.
In alignment with established local and national guidelines, the flood risks can be grouped by:
Example of such guideline for flood risk assessment include the Flood Risk Ratings of the Federal Emergency Management Agencey (FEMA) in United States available in floodsmart.gov/flood-risk or Climate Central's Coastal Risk Screening Tool available here: coastal.climatecentral.org.
Organizations are encouraged to footnote types of flooding (e.g. Coastal, Pluvial, Fluvial) and consider sea-level rise (SLR), or increased rainfall in regions targeted as part of assessing flood risks connected with climate change.
June 2025 - IRIS+ v5.3b Released (current version)
No change.
December 2024 - IRIS+ v5.3a Released
New metric. Level of Flood Risk (OI3344) was developed via the IRIS+ Climate Adaptation and Resilience Expert Subgroup.
IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
