2. Discover & filter flood events¶
floods() is the entry point for discovery. It resolves your area of interest, reads a
small window of the published index, and returns a FloodFrame: a
geopandas.GeoDataFrame with one row per historic flood event. It is cheap (a few MB, no
depth rasters), so you explore freely and only download later.
This tutorial covers the ways to specify a region, how to filter by time, and how to work with the result as an ordinary GeoDataFrame.

Ways to specify a region¶
A place name is geocoded (OpenStreetMap, cached after the first lookup); a bbox, point + radius, or shapefile skip geocoding entirely. All return a FloodFrame for the same kind of query:

cat = ef.floods("Zutphen, Netherlands") # place name (geocoded)

cat = ef.floods("Zutphen, Netherlands") # place name (geocoded)

Other coordinate systems with crs=¶
Coordinates default to WGS 84 lon/lat. Working in a national or metric grid? Pass crs=
(anything pyproj accepts: an EPSG code, "EPSG:28992", WKT) and give the coordinates in that
system. A bbox is always (minx, miny, maxx, maxy); a point is (x, y) = (easting,
northing) in a projected CRS, and (lat, lon) in a geographic one. A shapefile keeps its own
CRS; crs= only fills in a missing one. The catalogue you get back is always EPSG:4326: call
.to_crs() on it for anything else.

Eurostat NUTS regions with nuts=¶
If your statistics are organised by Eurostat's NUTS regions, select one by its identifier
and get exactly that administrative boundary (Eurostat GISCO, 1:1M). The identifier's length
gives the level: NL is the country, NL2 a major region, NL22 Gelderland, NL225 a small
region. ef.nuts() finds identifiers by name, or lists a country's regions at a level:

Cleaner ROIs with shape=¶
Administrative boundaries are legal shapes, not hydrological ones. Zutphen's gemeente
boundary runs right down the IJssel, so the raw outline is jagged and cuts the river out.
Pass shape="bbox" (a bounding rectangle) or shape="hull" (the convex hull) to query a
clean ROI instead of the raw boundary; buffer_m still applies on top.

raw = ef.floods("Zutphen, Netherlands") # raw admin boundary (follows the river)
box = ef.floods("Zutphen, Netherlands", shape="bbox") # a clean enclosing rectangle

Filter by time¶
Keep a single year, or an open/closed date range with start / end ("YYYY" or
"YYYY-MM-DD"). The IJssel floods most winters, so even a single year usually holds a few
events:

Export the catalogue¶
Write it to CSV (drop the geometry for a flat table), GeoJSON, or GeoParquet:

A note on speed & caching¶
The first floods() in a session mirrors the ~19 MB dictionary + events tables once (cached
across sessions), geocodes the place name (cached on disk after the first lookup), and
streams the index window over the network. Repeat queries are fast. For fully offline or
HPC use:
export EUROFLOOD_GEOCODER_BACKEND=local # resolve names from the offline NUTS dataset
euroflood mirror index # pull the whole index once, then read it locally
…or pass a bbox= / point= to skip geocoding altogether.
