Context/Overview of Flood Pilot
• Objective:
– improve delivery of satellite data and products for societal benefit in
local/regional setting, but on a global scale;
– demonstrate regional monitoring success that is scalable to global level
• Method:
– develop Earth Observation (EO) monitoring and modeling technology for data
acquisition, processing, and product distribution for disaster applications
– use Sensor Web approach and applied science research
• Experience:
– CEOS Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Pilots address ground validation,
crowd sourcing, and hand-held clients to validate disaster products and
services
– Capacity building and easy access via the internet using common, open
desktop tools

9. Coordinated EO Supply
• Significant challenge to tailor satellite observations to respond
to the DRM community’s needs (lack of awareness of what’s
possible on demand side, lack of awareness of community
needs on supply side, need for increased dialogue)
• Significant challenge to coordinate requirements across hazard
types and on global basis – no single interface, in some cases no
global roll-up from user community
• CEOS represents large number of satellite data providers, but
not all, especially not all high-resolution optical satellites
• Need for coordination to avoid overlap, duplication and gaps

10. Disaster Risk Management
Product Chain
• DRM users need information products and services, not data
• Stakeholders and users not always familiar with satellite EO
offering and remote sensing data providers not fully aware of
the end users’ needs and DRM priorities.
• Satellite community must demonstrate viability of entire chain
with the cooperation of other stakeholders, and support weak
nodes through development efforts

Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction
• How did your work support the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for
Action:
– Space agencies have traditionally focussed on response, with some degree of success.
– Satellite-based EO is mature for support to risk reduction, but a global approach still needs

to be developed.
• From your perspective what are the main gaps, needs and further steps to be
addressed in the Post 2015 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction in
– Research: space agencies should increase their ties to flood risk reduction communities to
better focus research into how satellite EO can be used for risk reduction applications
(next generation)
– Education & Training: flood monitoring using satellites can be a vehicle for increased local
capacity development and training
– Implementation & Practice: satellite EO is a high-profile and visible means to highlight
exposure to excessive risk and promote risk reduction for targeted areas (e.g. urban risk in
mega cities in Southeast Asia) and a tool to support resilience development, especially
through improved reconstruction;
– Policy: satellite EO can serve as an objective, global means to monitor risk and progress of
structural risk reduction efforts;
Editor's Notes
Geographic priorities for flood risk (hatched areas), with a subset in coastal lowland areas (solid blue areas) and deltas (green points). The total length of coastline in the world is 1.6 million km,
Development and approval of pilots – oral presentation
Note: recommendation from Report on Integration of Satellite data into Operational Flood Warning and Response establishes a “second track’ for the Sensor-Web, with satellite triggers provided by CIMH based on NWP (WRF) and ground radar, and integrating river gauges.
Space agencies have traditionally focussed on response, with some degree of success. This is a challenge, but is in fact in many ways easier than tackling some of the other phases, such as global flood mitigation support.

All users want products to be accessible using tools they usually have installed on their desktop or hand held devices
Digital products are preferred over paper (important to disaster users we have in our regional pilots)
PNG, PDF, and JPEG are nice for pictures in reports and presentations, BUT…
Users want map based products such as
KML raster overlays and vectorized polygons
These can be combined with other data on a common map background for mashups/analysis/reporting
There are hidden services that the users will expect without necessarily knowing they need to ask for it.
Situational awareness requires a stream of new data in addition to static overlays and archive data
New acquisitions need to be visible to all users so they can know what to request for tomorrow and the next day, available from the variety of feasibilities that are provided
Automated mapping servers and map service organizations need to have new data availability published and the capability to subscribe for notification of URL/URI of those data sets
Product processing should be automated for every available user option – either for every data set or on-demand for specific detection and classification algorithms
More hidden services that the users will expect without necessarily knowing they need to ask for it.
Tiling and compression should be available for raster and vector-based products that can be ingested and visualized by desktop and hand-held devices without any programming knowledge
Product publication and distribution can be via RSS or Atom-type feeds, but should evolve to become “product feeds”
Product providers need to ensure that
Native resolution is maintained
Products are terrain corrected and co-registered to map control points
Products are delivered only within the user area of interest (i.e., down scaling global-regional-local)
Delivered products can be easily validated/corrected by non-experts
Automated, from downloading data from the servers to calculating to outputting into a geoserver software for publishing on a website hosted by the open science data cloud. This process is scheduled to run every day, checking for new data and then updating it on the dashboard as it becomes available. So I mentioned a website, and this what it looks like.
Flood product of October 29th 2006 overlaid over a google base-map of the region.
It gives local information for the emergency relief managers and first responders in the region.
.. And you can see the colder colors showing the regions lesser impacted of flood.
Explain ISERV and introduce its higher resolution’ness and NOVELTY.
Coincidentally, this camera captured event in early NOV 2013, which also happened to have a cloud free Landsat 7 image. So what can we learn…
This higher res ISERV imagery gives us very similar product accuracy for flood detection when compared to what Landsat would give us.
But theres more, as ISERV gives his a good look at the inundation borders… show shallow banks of flooding can be picked up by the NDVI Change product as shallower waters have a less drastic NDVI decrease.
Explain that ISERV helps the Landsat validation, as ISERV is higher resolution and it was installed just last year. This not only highlights the product’s accuracy but also the potential for ISERV’s application in disaster relief monitoring.
Something interesting is that product picks up the edges of inundation where flood waters may be particularly shallow or in MODIS pixels with mixed landcover.
