With the combination of using Drone and GIS we can make a simple flood simulation to visualize and analyze how a potential flood event might impact the plantation area. By understanding the impact, we can make more informed decisions about flood preparedness and mitigation strategies. #fgv #floodsimulation #photogrammetry #drone #gis #geoinformatics

The City of Norfolk, VA faced intensifying flood events disrupting transport and daily life. With Esri startup partner FloodMapp, the city now uses real-time, street-level flood modeling at more than 90% accuracy. ArcGIS Online provides dynamic road hazard updates, empowering faster, informed responses that boost public safety. Previously, data from sensors and static studies lacked actionable speed. FloodMapp’s predictive technology now ensures timely, efficient decision-making during storms. 💡 Learn how GIS is transforming flood response. https://lnkd.in/gPeds6DY #SmartUtilities #Stormwater #FloodManagement #EsriWater

In May 2021, Cyclone Yaas struck the east coast of India, bringing wind gusts of up to 140 kilometers per hour (87 mph). By May 23, it had intensified to the equivalent of a Category 1 Atlantic hurricane before making landfall at Balshwar on May 25 at its peak strength. The cyclone generated destructive storm surges, resulting in widespread flooding and displacing tens of thousands of individuals from their homes. During such weather emergencies, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data proves invaluable. Unlike other sensors, SAR can penetrate cloud cover, providing a clear view of ground conditions. Once captured, SAR data requires processing and analysis to extract meaningful insights. Utilized ENVI® SARscape® software for the flood analysis following Cyclone Yaas. ENVI SARscape is a premier SAR processing and analysis tool globally recognized for its ability to derive actionable information from SAR data. For this analysis, Sentinel-1 data captured before and after the cyclone (on May 17 and May 29, respectively) was employed. The process involved creating a SAR composite image, followed by the extraction of flooded areas and conducting change detection analysis. In addition to SAR analysis, this tutorial also discusses the methodology of flood analysis using multispectral data in ArcGIS Pro. The combination of SAR and multispectral data analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of Cyclone Yaas, aiding in effective disaster response and recovery efforts. #Cyclone #Flood #Yash cyclone #ENVI Sarscape #ArcGIS Pro #SAR #Multispectral #ESRI

I have been utilizing the FastFlood tool for flood modeling and prediction. This incredibly efficient tool, developed by Bastian van den Bout, Highly recommended for those in the field of geospatial analysis! #ITC #Utwente #Floodmodeling #gis #floodrisk #climatechange

Flood simulation using hec-ras and Google for 3D view, better than gis 3D. It's just a prototype ☺️ #hecras #arcgis #floodsimulation #googleearth

Our sister company Storm Geomatics Limited has recently installed four water level sensors around Halford Flood Meadow. Soon after, we had some intense rainfall and a breach of the banks into the floodplain. I am amazed at how quickly we have learned the river behaviours throughout the 1.4km reach from the sensor data. This is all because the resolution of #Geospatial data on the floodplain is high and integrates with the strategically placed, on-site water level data to provide and record an accurate picture of the event. This temporary measurement system will inform the development of the #floodplain regeneration project for the next 30 years. Storm Geomatics are keen to set up this low cost/high value system on other projects to capture critical data for flood protection and nature regeneration projects.

Are you in the insurance sector and ready to manage flood events with better precision? Geospatial Insight’s flood risk analysis platform empowers insurers with tools for every stage of a flood: • Pre-event: Analyse risks with visual maps and key data streams like flood APIs and river level gauge notifications. • During the event: Access near real-time intelligence on flood boundaries and depths. • Post-event: Streamline claims validation and estimate losses using drone imagery and property-level damage analysis. Enhance flood risk analysis, improve claims processing, and boost efficiency with Geospatial Insight.

Visualizing Flood Risk in a Modern Era of GIS Technology In many parts of the world, flood risk during the monsoon or rainy season is a critical concern. Estimating the potential extent of flooding in advance can be transformative, enabling communities to design drainage systems, establish flood safety zones, and prepare emergency response plans. This GIS animation, which I created using ArcGIS, demonstrates flood inundation in a hypothetical area, using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with vertical exaggeration to display the region’s topography—from lowlands at -3 meters below sea level to mountainous areas up to 370 meters. The animation shows a simulated flood rising from -4 meters to 100 meters, illustrating how floodwaters could spread across different elevations and recede over time. While no hydraulic parameters are added, this visualization provides a clear, impactful look at how flooding could impact the landscape. Through GIS and hydraulic modeling tools like HEC-RAS, MIKE, and ArcGIS, we can create realistic flood models that inform safety measures and planning decisions. By bringing flood risk to the screen, this type of visualization provides insights that support disaster preparedness and environmental planning. #GISAnimation #FloodRisk #DEMTerrain #EnvironmentalPlanning #DisasterPreparedness #FloodModeling #HydraulicEngineering #ArcGIS #HECRAS #MIKEFlood #FloodSimulation #DrainagePlanning #Topography #ClimateResilience #GIScience
