位于英国英格兰西南部的Torbay是欧盟资助的项目EU-Circle的案例研究之一，该项目旨在增强关键基础设施(CI)对自然灾害的复原力。该地区包括三个城市中心(托基、佩因顿和布里克汉姆)，每年接待超过300万游客，为当地经济贡献超过4.5亿GB。然而，洪水，包括沿海、河流和暴雨，一直是该地区的主要威胁，自1999年以来发生了15起以上的重大事件。海平面上升，加上与气候变化有关的降雨强度增加，预计将加剧这一问题。需要更好的适应战略，以保障独联体和服务，同时提高对气候危害的复原力。欧盟圈的合作伙伴正在对托尔贝现有的防洪和排水系统能力进行审查。为了加强与持份者的风险沟通，我们采用了高性能的洪水模型来分析不同情景下对独联体的洪水风险。结果被整合到一个创新的3D可视化工具中，通过一个完全交互的界面显示该地区任何洪水情景随时间的进展，使利益攸关方能够更好地了解洪水对独联体的影响。
Torbay, located in South West England, UK, is one of the Case Studies on the EU-funded project EU-CIRCLE, which is aimed at enhancing resilience of Critical Infrastructures (CI) to natural hazards. The region includes three urban centres (Torquay, Paignton and Brixham) and hosts more than 3 million tourists every year that contribute over £450 million to local economy. However, flooding, including coastal, fluvial and pluvial, has been a major threat to the area with more than 15 major incidents occurring since 1999. Rising sea levels, combined with increasing rainfall intensity, linked to climate change, are expected to exacerbate the problem. Better adaptation strategies are needed to safeguard CIs and services while improving resilience to climate hazards. EU-CIRCLE partners are engaged in a review of the existing capacity of flood defenses and the drainage systems in Torbay. To enhance the risk communication with the stakeholders, we adopted a high performance flood model to analyse the flood risk to Cis under a wide range of scenarios. The results are integrated into an innovative 3D visualization tool, showing the progress over time of any flood scenario in the region, via a fully interactive interface allowing stakeholders to better understand flood impacts to CIs.
