The Flood Impact Analysis Solution (FIAS) is a guided workflow that allows users to visualize flooding (in both 2D and 3D) at various intensities. User can also determine which populations may be vulnerable to the flood event and quantify the infrastructure impacted. Flood impact analysis is practical for any entities that want to mitigate for the disruption caused by high peak flow events. As sea level rise and natural hazards such as flooding become more persistent with climate change it is crucial to execute workflows such as FIAS and account for the ramifications. A more detailed explanation of the solution can be found here https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-solutions/latest/reference/introduction-to-flood-impact-analysis.ht....The solution can be deployed through the ArcGIS Solutions app. Once the solution is downloaded into an appropriate folder on your computer, it contains a project package that can be opened in ArcGIS Pro.

It is important to note that an assumption of FIAS is that flood depth rasters for your area of interest have already been derived. This document serves to provide guidance in how you may create flood depth rasters for your area of interest if they are not already available.
