Goal: Be able to compare indices that assess vulnerability within the Delta by integrating these indices in a tool. Develop a comprehensive understanding on what is the input of each index and how vulnerability is calculated. If possible develop a reproducible way of recreating these indices.

Step 1: We need to understand if it is feasible to integrate/cross-compare data, so we should discuss the answers to:

• What is the data source?
• How is it calculated (formula/rationale)?
• What is the spatial extent?
• Is it reproducible? Static or update(bale)? If not, what would be required to make it reproducible?
• If there is a temporal scale, what is it (one-year vs. five-year data source)?
• How is it interpreted?
• Draft the formula and/or conceptual models for each index (or share what already exists).

**Outcome ** – Visualizing and comparing vulnerability estimates - summary table and/or conceptual model including each index we are considering.

Timeline

• Have responses to the above on hand for our meeting on Dec 12.
