Need guidance : assessment of dynamic impact of flood in an urban area using GIS

[Namya Sharma]

Hello everyone. I'm a college student and I have to do assessment of dynamic impact of flood in an urban area with help of GIS. Skills of remote sensing need not be involved. this is the first time I am using GIS and I'm not able to getto the result. I tried following the online tutorials but I'm not able to fetch shapefiles,dem , population etc data online.
Any form of guidance or how to proceed or relevant links for data would be helpful. Also how to analyse the dynamic effects of flood on gis after I overlap the above layers.
Thanks!

It is not as simple as it seems!

Having said that, I would encourage you to populate your shapefiles with relevant attribute data (like buildings, people, different economic activities, infrastructure, etc.), so that once you know the hazard affected areas, you can calculate the damages/losses or at least the affected population.

I don't know your educational background / experience to give better advise!

Hi,

Before running behind the data, I would advise you to fix your objectives  and methodology, then search for data. You entitled it as Dynamic impact of flood urban areas, could you please give more information on it what are the factors are you considering? Which is your study area? And your educational background? So that people here can give you precise guidance. 

PS:Population data can be obtained from census.gov.in
