[global]
crs
: Global projection for the model and the output. If not defined, the default crs for the model output is the same as the hazard map.keep_temp_files
: Permanently save the temporary file outputs. These are produced during the calculations.gdal_cache
: Set the cache used by GDAL.
The entry gdal_cache
performs poorly and will probably be deprecated soon.
[hazard]
crs
: Projection of the hazard data if it cannot be inferred from the dataset itself.return_periods
: Return periods for hazard calculation when they cannot be inferred from the data itself.
[hazard.settings]
subset
: Select a specific subdataset by supplying it’s ID (name) here.var_as_band
: Whether or not to read the subdatasets as classic raster band.
The entry var_as_band
is only applicable to netCDF files.
[exposure.csv]
index
: Set the index column of the csv file. In case of the exposure csv, if no entry is provided then FIAT will default to ‘Object ID’.
[exposure.geom]
crs
: Projection of the exposure geometry data if it cannot be inferred from the dataset itself.
[exposure.grid]
crs
: Projection of the gridded exposure data if it cannot be inferred from the dataset itself.
[exposure.grid.settings]
var_as_band
: Whether or not to read the subdatasets as classic raster band.
The entry var_as_band
is only applicable to netCDF files.
[vulnerability]
step_size
: The internal step size of the vulnerability data. The supplied data is interpolated or averaged depending on the minimal step size of the supplied dataset.
[vulnerability.settings]
index
: Set the index column of the csv file. In case of the vulnerability csv, if no entry is provided then FIAT will default to ‘water depth’.
