| Abstract [eng] |
Floods are a common natural disaster with increasingly often devastating results. Disaster management is a highly complex and localized process that is difficult to generalize or extract from context. With radar data based on modern satellite constellations, the raw extent of floods can be quickly assessed at high spatial and temporal resolution, irrespective of cloud cover or time of day. In addition, Volunteered Geographic Information in the form of OpenStreetMap now offers an extensive database of individual pieces of infrastructure, in particular buildings, on a worldwide scale and free of use. Together with a newly available global land cover dataset, these data can be integrated to allow for quick, highly reproducible, and globally adaptive spatial impact analysis in the wake of flood events. |
