Great Data Products: What makes a flood model useful? Fathom's global flood risk data
Join host Nissim Lebovits and guest Oliver Wing live for a conversation about Fathom's global flood risk data and the challenges of turning sophisticated models into useful information. This podcast conversation will be live streamed on YouTube and LinkedIn.
They will discuss why higher resolution doesn't always mean greater accuracy, how to communicate uncertainty without creating false confidence, and how different users need different things from the same models. Finally, they will ask what better data can accomplish when flood risks are already known but action doesn't follow.
