After the high-resolution flood hazard maps have been established, the annual extreme values can be combined to form average annual flood hazard maps and flood risk maps. At this scale, more local detail can be added about cropland locations, high-resolution maps on population and GDP and other exposure data of interest. The resulting flood hazard maps can be combined with these high-resolution maps and, if possible, in more localised damage models.
