Disaster Information Dissemination During Emergency Event: An Experiment in OGC Disaster Resilience Pilot

Flood is one of the major natural hazards in the world, especially during extreme weather conditions. This research proposes two approaches to help decision-makers and the general public make better decisions during such events. The decision-maker could utilize the maps generated by the CSISS sentinel toolbox and CSISS DVDI index to get a better idea of the damage during the event. The flood map was generated using Sentinel 1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) which provides 10m spatial resolution. The DVDI was developed with MODIS Surface Reflectance and could help people get a rough idea of the event damage.
