Summary:Floods are the most common natural disasters all over the world. The space climate observatory (SCO)-FloodDAM project aims at utilizing the capabilities of new observing strategies in order to better alert, detect and map flood events globally. Leveraging from both aerial- and satellite-based platforms (Sentinel, TerraSar-X, SWOT) as well as in-situ based sensors, the main objective of the project is to develop an automatic system to better prevent flood events and assess their consequences. In this paper, we will demonstrate the strategy deployed for the selected test-sites in France.
