Summary:<\/span><\/p>

We developed a rapid-response workflow to map flooded areas during this emergency event using multi-temporal Sentinel-1 SAR data. Sentinel-1\u2019s SAR backscatter characteristics are particularly effective for detecting surface water: water surfaces typically exhibit low backscatter, whereas non-water areas show higher backscatter. Leveraging this physical property, we distinguished between water and non-water surfaces from both pre- and post-flood observations.<\/span><\/p>

To highlight flood-induced surface changes, we computed the differenced co-polarized VV backscatter (dVV = VV_post \u2013 VV_pre). This change detection technique enhances the visibility of newly inundated areas. We then applied a simple threshold to the dVV image to separate flooded from non-flooded areas.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

Suggested Use:<\/span><\/p>

The final output is a binary raster product, where pixels with a value of 1 represent flooded areas (dark blue color).<\/span><\/p>
