tested against QGIS 3.40.6 and Qt 5.15.13.

For those looking to develop depth-damage functions, be sure to check out our sister project CanCurve

Documentation is provided in English for the latest, development, and archive versions.

• v2.1.0 alpha release with:

  • multi-model support and plotting
  • multiple function groups
  • binary (L1) exposure mode
  • absolute elevation values for inventories (felv_type=absolute)
  • run all button
  • improved colours and readability
  • upgrade to QGIS 3.40

• v2.0.2 bug fixes and ui tweaks

• v2.0.1 add documentation

• v2.0.0 prototype with the following features:

  • Welcome: tutorial data loader. NOTE: this also loads a complete project database.
  • Project Setup: create/load project database file. select Study Area (not used) and DEM
  • Hazard: specify metadata, select hazard events from loaded raster layers, populate event data. Eventually, support of export/import of just the hazard data will be added (for easier hazard scenario comparisons).
  • Model Suite: Creating template models for each of the 7 categories and launching the model config dialog.
  • Model Configuration: depth-dependent (L2) model setup and running.
  • Reporting: Generate a Risk Curve from a completed model.

• Ensure the QGIS and Qt version 'tested' above is installed and working on your system (Qgis all releases download page). Ensure the 'processing' plugin is installed and enabled in QGIS.
• download the canflood2.zip file from the latest release to your local machine
• in QGIS, Manage and Install Plugins... > Install from ZIP > select the downloaded file
• we recommended to also install the First Aid plugin for more detailed error messages
• we recommended to set up the QGIS Debug Log file as shown here
• CanFlood2 backend and project data is implemented in SQLite relational databases. For enhanced customization and debugging, it is recommended to install a SQLite viewer + editor like DB Browser for SQLite for working with these files

For best performance: follow similar steps to the above, but be sure to Uninstall the plugin and restart QGIS first
