Course Description

NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) Program is conducting this webinar series that will provide demonstrations and hands-on experience in using NASA remote sensing observations and flood mapping tools useful for flood management. Participants will learn to access rainfall, streamflow, and surface inundation extent data for regional flood cases. In addition, participants will learn to access digital elevation and terrain data, as well as socioeconomic data, to facilitate flood risk assessment and post-flood relief planning using a GIS framework.

Attendees will learn how to use NASA remote sensing data for flood management from planning pre-flood monitoring to post-flood relief activities.
