This study aims to provide a tool based on geospatial information science (GIS) analyses to support decision-makers in identifying flood hazards in urban areas, in which data are not adequately available.
Coastal communities face more frequent floods in which rain, rivers, and ocean storm surge combine forces. A reliable system that accurately predicts inundation from these events is urgently needed.
The digital inventory will aid future data collection efforts, scientific research on floods, disaster risk reduction, loss and damage estimates and pave the way to develop financial products to tackle disaster risks.
Faced with drought threat, the Government of Jordan is strengthening its drought resilience with the support of the USAID-funded IWMI-led MENADrought project, which helps deliver a comprehensive drought adaptation program for Jordan.
This study aims to capture the information about resilience into a Community Intrinsic Resilience Index (CIRI), which embodies the resilience level of four critical sectors: transportation, energy, health and socio-economic.
This study evaluated whether the Earth Observation (EO) domain can provide valuable information products that can significantly reduce the cost of mapping flood extent and improve the accuracy of mapping and monitoring systems.
