2.  Introduction
 Total damage done by floods in different areas of Pakistan.
 Monitoring of Flood by Remote Sensing.
 Results.
 Recommendations.
 Conclusion.
 References.

3. Government of Pakistan directed Pakistan Space
& Upper Atmosphere Research Commission
(SUPARCO), the national space agency, to
comprehensively monitor the flood extent and
ensure timely provision of this information to the
relevant disaster management agencies for relief
and early recovery operations.
SUPARCO is in process of signing a MoU with
ITP-CAS pertaining to glaciers study.
mapping different morphological aspects of
glaciers, developing advanced inventory on
glaciers, remote sensing and GIS techniques for
glacier study and installation of acquisition
workstation on high mountains region for glacier
monitoring in climate change context.

6. Necessary infrastructure such as remote sensing satellite ground
stations for SPOT-5, SPOT-4, Aqua, and Terra satellites as well as
linkage with UN-SPIDER program as regional support office
were in place to immediately act on the government directives.

14. RAPID DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

15.  Near real-time flood monitoring on daily basis
 Timely provision of satellite maps to national disaster
management agencies
 Regular submission of damage assessment reports both of
infrastructure and crops to the concerned ministries

16.  International cooperation to be further strengthened
 Regional support offices to be provide further training in dealing
with various types of disasters

17.  Better coordination by the Meteorological Department would
have contributed towards quick mobilization, awareness and
ultimately reduced losses.
 Availability of high resolution synthetic aperture radar data
would have increased the accuracy of assessment in view of the
overcast conditions.
 Closer cooperation among international and national agencies
would have optimized early response and relief operations
