Setting up a SFINCS model

SFINCS is the open-source compound flood model implemented in FloodAdapt. When setting up FloodAdapt in a new location, it is required to first set up a SFINCS model in the project area. This is considered the ‘baseline’ SFINCS model, which FloodAdapt users can then modify through the FloodAdapt user interface - for example, by selecting a hurricane or developing a synthetic event.
