Abstract
This resource contains the Jupyter notebook used in Learning Activity 2 of the HydroLearn module "Introduction to Impact-Based Forecasting" (from what the weather will be to what the weather will do), developed for the WMO capacity-building course series. On a clearly labeled synthetic demonstration region (a river valley with one town, villages, and farmland), the notebook builds a minimal flood IBF chain end to end: a hazard layer (probability of 24-hour rainfall exceeding a flood-relevant
threshold), an exposure layer (population density with a critical facility), a vulnerability index, and a transparent likelihood-by-impact warning matrix that combines them into No warning, Yellow, Amber, and Red zones on a map. Two stress tests follow: a festival that temporarily adds 50,000 visitors to a quiet floodplain cell, and a likelihood-threshold debate that shows what stricter warning criteria cost. All data are generated inside the notebook, so every learner gets identical, discussable results; the method, not the numbers, is what transfers to real national layers.
The notebook can be run using the JupyterHub environment available through HydroShare (Open with: CUAHSI JupyterHub) or on Google Colab; it needs only numpy and matplotlib, requires no downloads and no accounts, and runs in under a minute. Total hands-on time is about 30 to 45 minutes at the fundamentals level.
