Republic of Estonia Land and Spatial Development Board

Heat island and flood hazard map viewer

These maps can be used as planning tools and are interlinkable with the base maps of the Estonian Land Board, which include, for example, the locations of healthcare institutions and cadastral units.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Explore flood hazard and heat island maps for Estonia
  • Combine these with other Land Board base maps, such as healthcare institution locations and cadastral units

Output

  • Maps and datasets/indicators on flood hazard and heat island extent

Use it to

  • Identify areas exposed to flooding, coastal flooding/storm surge and heat
  • Combine hazard information with land-use and health-infrastructure layers for planning
  • Support the "preparing the ground" and risk-assessment stages of spatial planning

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Its main strength is interlinkability — combining flood and heat hazard layers directly with cadastral and healthcare-location base maps lets planners connect exposure to specific parcels and social infrastructure in one viewer. It offers no nature-based-solution, cost-benefit or just-resilience functionality, and underlying data has no systematic update cycle.

Used in

  • Spatial planning in Estonia by the Land and Spatial Development Board
  • Buildings, coastal areas, cultural heritage, health, land use planning, tourism, transport and urban sectors, at national and subnational level
