7500 kilometres away here in switzerland, a partnership between ibm and zurich insurance company has looked deeply into what makes a good flood resilient. in the last few decades, flash flooding has cost switzerland hundreds of millions of pounds. resilience for us is not just a new buzzword like sustainability or something else. the big challenge of resilience is that you don't see it until the event has happened. so what we want to have is a set of strong indicators that tell you something about what might resilience look like if something happens and then how can we strengthen those indicators, so it's all about not being derailed and not falling into a poverty trap despite that there are risks out there. the algorithm measures all the indicators and generates a numerical value on how resilient a population is. so this helps us use what we call engineering judgement, or expertjudgement, to start sorting and organising the data so you can come up with these numerical scores
