Risk implementation.

<p>Pseudo code implementation of the probabilistic risk assessment of coastal flooding. For each storm, the loss is calculated considering assets at each elevation, across locations and types of building or assets. The loss at each elevation, Li(z-1,z), is calculated multiplying the value of the property by the Mean Damage Degree (MDD), as calculated from the damage curves and the flooding depth (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0192132#pone.0192132.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2</a>). The box in the right panel shows a pseudo code for the loss (L) at one location (M) for a specific asset or building type (N). For example, for a storm flooding at location M with a 40% MDD and an asset value of $1 million, the resulting loss would be 400,000 $.
