Groundsource Indonesia Flood Profiler
Plugin ID: 4859
Groundsource Indonesia Flood Profiler is a QGIS plugin designed to analyze and profile historical flood events across Indonesia using the Groundsource global flood dataset.
The plugin extracts and analyzes flood events reported in the Groundsource dataset within user-defined administrative or study boundaries. It generates spatial and temporal flood intelligence profiles that summarize historical flood occurrence patterns for cities, districts, watersheds, or planning regions.
The Groundsource dataset compiles flood events extracted from global news reports and structured into a geospatial dataset, enabling retrospective analysis of flood occurrence patterns.
This tool allows planners, disaster risk analysts, and researchers to transform raw Groundsource event data into actionable spatial intelligence through automated profiling workflows.
The plugin is designed for applications including:
1. Historical flood event profiling within planning boundaries
2. Flood hotspot identification and spatial clustering
3. Temporal flood trend analysis and event seasonality
4. Flood exposure assessment for urban and regional planning
5. Disaster risk intelligence and decision-support mapping

Groundsource Indonesia Flood Profiler provides a geospatial analytical framework to convert the Groundsource flood event dataset into interpretable flood intelligence indicators.
The tool automatically downloads and caches the Groundsource dataset and performs spatial intersection with user-defined boundaries to identify flood events relevant to a specific study area.
Analytical outputs include flood event density mapping, temporal trend analysis, hotspot identification, and computation of the Historical Flood Intelligence Index (HFII). The workflow also produces multiple visual analytics including temporal charts, hotspot maps, and spatial summaries.
The plugin is designed to support disaster risk analysis, spatial planning, climate adaptation studies, and flood risk communication for Indonesian regions.
