Experience with Earth Observation Tools for Flood Extent: Analysis of Five Regional Flooding Events Drawing on five analyses of regional flooding events, this document provides insight on the use of flood extent tools before, during, and after a crisis. Its purpose is to support flood managers and responders in understanding the use of tools and datasets in various circumstances, with attention to Earth observation-related (EO) tools, particularly. Members of EOTEC DevNet’s four regional flood working groups analyzed these five events: ● Central America: Hurricane-related (Eta and Iota) flooding, 2020 ● Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India: Rockfall-triggered flood, 2021 ● Ebro River Basin, Spain: Heavy rainfall and snowmelt-triggered flooding, 2021 ● Malawi: Cyclone-related flooding (Ana and Gombe), 2022 ● Maluku Province (Ambon Island), Indonesia: Heavy rainfall-triggered flooding, 2022 Thanks to those who contributed to this synthesis: Vida Akyeampong (Africa community of practice) Sergio Camacho (Americas community of practice) João Fernandes (Europe community of practice) Jean Hounkpe (Africa community of practice) Fabiola Yépez (Americas community of practice task team lead)

Monitoring Urban Floods Using Remote Sensing According to the UNDP, by 2050 two thirds of the world’s population is likely to live in cities. Urban flooding is already a major risk for cities. Increasing impervious surface area, inadequate storm water drainage, and aging infrastructure all contribute. As a result, growing urban populations will face a greater risk of flooding from extreme weather events. This webinar series will focus on the components of urban flooding that satellite data can track: • extreme precipitation • flooding • waterlogged and ponded surfaces Using satellite data allows individuals and organizations to develop better plans for handling floods. This can include developing better early warning techniques, better plans for rescue and relief, and more effective long-term infrastructure planning.

Satellite Remote Sensing of Flood Monitoring and Management Monsoon rains can have an enormous impact in southern Asia. While the rains can help agriculture, it can also cause extreme flooding. Satellite data can augment decision-support for flood warnings, responses, relief, and mitigation activities. This two-day training covers access and use of satellite imagery and data to inform flood-related decisions. Attendees will learn to access and analyze data. This will allow attendees to track and map flooding, assess affected areas, and learn how they can integrate satellite data into their own decision-making processes.
