Example inundation depth maps for hypothetical floods in the Philippines

GFDRR challange fund

 

This method was applied for the Philippines in a challange fund project from GFDRR where The Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre (RCRCCC) and the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) are using this data for disaster response. Different ‘scenarios’ of flood maps were created for Philippines solely based on the HAND information. These maps give information about the potential people and assets at risk. In order to estimate which is the most likely scenario for a region hit by a flood event, the maps need to be overlapped with the available flood information from Twitter for a particular province. These have been included in a dashboard where the most likely scenario will be highlighted for the province hit by the flood.
