Floods which constitute around half of all extreme events are increasing, exposing a larger population to a higher risk of loss of livelihood and property. Therefore, mapping historical flood events, near real-time flood monitoring, and flood damage assessment are crucial for mitigating this current scale of loss. Satellite imagery offers a unique perspective to monitor flood events by measuring their near real-time extent and duration and assessing the damage and post-disaster recovery. This webinar, which is a precursor to a community contributed session at IGARSS 2023, sponsored by the REACT TC, aims to showcase how various stakeholders in the earth sciences and impact organizations are utilizing sensors, frameworks, and flood data to produce knowledge for flood assessment, mitigation, and recovery.
