INTRODUCTION
TO BLUELABEL WHAT
BlueLabel is a digital risk analysis tool that highlights areas vulnerable to flooding, with an accuracy that can pinpoint individual buildings, properties and streets.
By using cutting edge hydrodynamic modelling, BlueLabel is able to accurately identify flood related risk, not only for real estate addresses but also for infrastructure objects. BlueLabel translates this risk into an easily understandable ranking, ranging from A (highly unlikely that extreme rainfall will result in water stress at the location) to E (high chance of several centimetres of water in the building). In the case of roads, the main criterion informing the ranking is passability, where A is ‘No difficulty in passing’, and E is ‘Very difficult to pass (if at all possible )’.
Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation
“Spatial adaptation encroaches upon a wide range of domains, such as the ways in which we construct our houses and business premises, the ways in which we design our gardens and public spaces, the ways in which we construct, maintain, and manage our infrastructure, and the ways in which we practice agriculture, and design nature.”
SPECIFIC INFORMATION
ABOUT BLUELABEL WHAT
Blue Label is about preventing disasters rather than reacting to the flood aftermath.
As a joint initiative between insurer Achmea, engineering firm Royal HaskoningDHV, and consulting firm Nelen& Schuurmans, BlueLabelis the first water vulnerability scan in the world to provide insight into rain induced flooding down to the square metre. By harnessing smart technology and cutting-edge hydrodynamicmodelling, the aim is to highlight flood risk and measure flood impact to ensure safer and more resilient cities.
BlueLabel provides insight that can be used to take measures to:
- ensure the safety of inhabitants;
- facilitate smart investment decisions;
- further responsible policy-making;
- make spatial and infrastructure planning more climate-proof and water-resilient.
BlueLabel is:
- THE standard in water risk assessment labelling
- THE go-to database for risk on flooding for both public and private sectors
- THE base for risk dialogue
- THE base for mitigation measures and climate resilience monitoring

A SHORT INTRO
TO THE SERVICES
For Cities and Governments
BlueLabel provides insight that can be used to take measures to ensure the safety of inhabitants, infrastructure and assets; and create dialogue between stakeholders and citizens. BlueLabel allows authorities to monitor flood vulnerability patterns over a period of time, in order to make spatial and infrastructure planning more climate-proof and water-resilient. The service can also be used to further responsible policy making, and develop new flood protection standards that are linked to a risk-based approach.
For Business
BlueLabel depicts, geographically and visually, the risks for flooding, allowing for effective planning of large and small-scale interventions. These range from the carrying out of daily operations, to strategic decisions that are taken to procure and insure business assets – in order to ensure effective and sustainable operations. In this way, BlueLabel provides a key service in the management of business that makes good economic sense.
For Citizens
BlueLabel is a digital service that helps you to understand if your plot is at risk of flooding, how frequently floods might occur, and the potential impact of floods. BlueLabel also provides important data on critical infrastructure such as road networks – thus informing your navigation and route choices. If you would like free access to BlueLabel, you can encourage your municipality to subscribe to the service.
