[TA13-3-1] Map and assess flooding

EO is capable to repeatedly map flood extent directly after flooding, including further aspects (flood plain, extend mapping, frequency, rainfall, flash floods, vulnerability, inundation, risk-based mapping & management; flood spread and depth followed by automated insurance payouts). Modelling (hydrological modelling and monitoring focused on seasonal dynamics of water availability) based on EO data (digital elevation models) supports flood risk assessment.
