Short summary
Adequate flood damage assessments can help to minimize damage costs in the SIDS. Data availability is, however, a major issue in these areas. In order to determine the minimal data necessary for an adequate result, a sensitivity analysis was performed on the input data. This has shown that population density, in combination with an average number of people per household, is a good parameter to determine building damage. Furthermore, a complete road dataset is visually indispensable.
