## Key findings
- Most vulnerable areas in the East of the studied watershed of Amman (Downtown): highest built-up area, highest sensitivity of residents (many disadvantaged inhabitants) and many exposed areas (proximity to flood path)
- Highest adaptive capacity in the northeast and within the sub-catchment area of Marj Al Hamam: Open space in public land available, but also on private land of wealthy residents: incentives should be created here for the private implementation of measures
- Lack of data on critical infrastructure, was compensated by OSM data, which is a promising source for data-scarce regions
- Base data on critical infrastructure, social and ecological aspects still scarce and needs to be improved for a more detailed risk and vulnerability analysis
## Acknowledgements
We would like to thank the Municipality of Greater Amman (GAM) for providing us with the basic GIS information for this analysis.
