Orbyfy Aqualyt™️
Making flood climate risk impact data accessible and as easy as searching for an address. Period.
🌊 City-scale hydrologic digital twins powered by Physics-AI.
🌊 Translating flood climate risks into hydrologic forces, inundation depths and damage impacts on buildings, infrastructure and communities.
Rising Waters, Rising Risks
Floods, both surface-based and river-based floods, rank among the world’s most frequent and costly disasters:
Frequency: Frequency: Of the 26,000+ disasters recorded by EM-DAT since 1900, floods account for roughly 22 percent (5,750 + events), whereas wildfires make up just about 2 percent (450 + events)—making floods more than ten times as prevalent.
Human Impact: In 2024 alone, natural-hazard disasters affected 167.2 million people and caused 16,753 fatalities.
Economic Losses: Global natural disasters inflicted $380 billion in economic damage in 2023—22 % above the 21st-century average—with floods and storms driving the largest share.
Unchecked flood exposure burdens insurers, banks and municipalities with rising claims, lending risks and recovery costs—urgency to act has never been greater.
Why Utilities, Banks & Insurers, and Real-Estate Portfolios Must Act Now
Stakeholders face mounting regulatory, financial and operational pressures to measure, report and mitigate flood exposure before the next extreme event:
Water Utilities & Municipalities
Confront infrastructure resilience mandates (FEMA, USACE, provincial regulators) and liability for flood-induced service disruptions
Must integrate real-time river‐level, discharge and precipitation forecasts to avert breaches and maintain critical water supplies
Banks & Insurers
Require hyper-local, dynamic flood depths and loss-estimate KPIs (ASCE 24-14, FEMA HAZUS-MH) for accurate underwriting, portfolio stress-testing and regulatory disclosures (SEC, OCC, OSFI)
Depend on real-time scenario analyses to calibrate reserves, price risk and safeguard balance sheets under evolving climate normals
Real-Estate Portfolios
Need spatially resolved flood-risk layers to protect asset values, optimize capital deployment for levees/retention basins and ensure tenant safety
Can unlock up to 6× return on hazard-mitigation investments, while reducing expected property damage by as much as 30 – 50 % through targeted resilience planning

Waves of Impact: Why Flood Risk Demands Action
Introducing Orbyfy Aqualyt™️
Flood Risk Modeling
City-Scale Flood Risk Digital Twin 🌊
Orbyfy Aqualyt™️ leverages Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to build an interactive, browser-based digital twin—covering entire urban regions—for real-time flood simulation, scenario exploration and risk quantification.
Key Differentiators
Physics-Based Explainability
Embeds shallow‐water equation PDEs to simulate precipitation-runoff, subsurface flow and urban drainage.
Ensures model fidelity and interpretability via rigorous auto-differentiation.
Modular “What-If” Scenarios
Simulate impacts of 20- to 30-year storm hyetographs, rapid snowmelt or levee breach under customizable conditions.
Real-Time, Scalable API
Data-as-a-Service delivers instant flood-depth layers, KPI metrics and geoJSON/CSV outputs—no heavy lift on your compute budget.
