Regional Index Insurance Using Satellite‐Based Fractional Flooded Area

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2022
Emerging parametric insurance products targeted at regional governments consider an index of flooding as the instrument for payoff and rate setting. Inundation extent from satellite remote sensing may provide a more direct measure of flood risk in this ...

Remote Sensing-Supported Flood Forecasting of Urbanized Watersheds—A Case Study in Southern China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Urbanization has significant impacts on watershed hydrology, but previous studies have been confirmatory and not comprehensive; in particular, few studies have addressed the impact of urbanization on flooding in highly urbanized watersheds. In this study,

Monitoring and anticipating floods in France

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
The State flood warning and anticipation tools in France have evolve a lot since the years 2000. This paper first presents an overview of the progress made since then. A description of the existing flood vigilance system (www.vigicrues.gouv.fr) is given,
