Exposure determines the degree to which a subject (inhabitant, building, ecosystem) is exposed to flooding in case of a flash flood event. It uses a similar approach to the [analysis](WP 3 Flash flood risk analysis/Risk Maps), but takes into account a buffer of 10 m around the flood paths when assessing whether a building/object is exposed or not. It is calculated for the different domains using different sets of indicators:

- **Social Exposure**: Describes the exposure of residents, which is determined based on the proximity of residental buildings to flood prone areas. Classification was based on the simplified risk analysis of DWA-M 119 [^6] using the expected water level (cm) during a flash flood event (Baseline Scenario).

we classified all residential buildings within the analyzed watershed of Amman according to the simplified risk analysis of DWA-M 119. Using the expected water level (cm) during a flash flood event (Baseline Scenario) classification is as follows: 1 = low (< 10 cm); 2 = moderate (10 – 30 cm), 3 = high (30-50 cm) and 4 = very high (> 50 cm). The final results were transformed to a 2 m raster file.
