Flood Mapping
Provided by
An end-to-end service that produces a flood map on demand, starting only from an area of interest and the date of a flood event. The service automatically requests the required Sentinel-1 radar imagery through the platform’s Data Access layer, runs the flood delineation to extract the extent of the inundated areas from before- and after-event radar acquisitions, and publishes the resulting flood map directly to GeoNode, where it can be explored, shared, and combined with other layers. By orchestrating data retrieval, processing, and publication into a single automated workflow, it removes the need for manual data search and processing, delivering a ready-to-use flood-extent map shortly after the event. Because it relies on radar data, mapping is possible even through cloud cover, making the service well suited to rapid post-event response, damage assessment, and insurance claim verification.
