LlamaIndex Geospatial Catastrophe Model for Climate Resilience

Property resilience planners require granular risk evaluation that combines climate projection models with local elevation maps. Build a LlamaIndex RAG application incorporating GeoTIFF raster data and climate projections to evaluate 30-year flood risk score for municipal infrastructure.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Integrate spatial index connectors in LlamaIndex to query raster climate maps and generate infrastructure vulnerability assessments.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates spatial flood depth score calculation accuracy and engineering intervention quality.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

vulnerability_tier_test

Ensures assets below 2.0m elevation under SSP3 are flagged HIGH_VULNERABILITY

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

depth_prediction_mae

Mean absolute error on expected inundation depth in meters • target: 0.08 • range: 0-0.5

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement a custom LlamaIndex vector store reader for spatial GeoTIFF and NetCDF climate projections

  • Synthesize sea level rise models with infrastructure elevation data using spatial index algorithms

  • Produce municipal climate resilience action plans with 30-year flood probability trajectories
