# Direct Economic Damage

The Direct Economic Damage window allows you to asses the direct economic damage expected for the structures and for the content of the property at risk.

1. Data concern assets at risk and their vulnerability (depth-damage curves) are stored in the geodatabase.
2. Data concern the hazard are a map of maximum depth values due to flooding. These data are the output from a 2D hydraulic model and are loaded into the system from any file type GDAL Raster Formats
3. The database can contain different types of depth-damage curves: before performing the calculation you must choose from those available and you can view the Charts.
4. Results are maps of damage and vulnerability to residential, commercial and industrial property and a global summary table of the results which are also displayed in graphical form (histogram).

The files of results are:

> Economic Damage Layer (*_dmg.tif):
> > | a GeoTIFF File Format having two output bands:
> > band1: | economic damage expected for the structures (Euro per square meter)
> > band2: | economic damage expected for the contents (Euro per square meter)
> Vulnerability Layer (*_vuln.tif):
> > | a GeoTIFF File Format having two output bands:
> > band1: | vulnerability for the structures (% of damage)
> > band2: | vulnerability for the contents (% of damage)
> Global summary table (*_dmg.csv):
> | a csv File Format containing the table of results grouped by class of asset
