Rapid Flood Mapping

Satellite remote sensing and intelligent detection rapidly map inundation to support event monitoring and emergency assessment.

Overview

See where flooding occurs and how it expands

Flood extent can change rapidly with rainfall, terrain and river conditions, requiring continued spatial identification of inundated areas.

Identifying and comparing water extent over time creates a continuous picture of the event and a spatial basis for emergency response.

Core capabilities

Identify the spatial boundary of floodwater.

Compare expansion, persistence and recession over time.

Place flood extent in the context of the surrounding landscape.

Processing chain

Applications

Quickly understand affected extent and direction of change.

Support further analysis of affected areas.

Preserve a spatial record of the event.
