Free Global Flood Database offers an overview of flood exposure around the world.
Cloud to Street’s free Global Flood Database offers an overview of flood exposure around the world. The database is the world’s largest collection of flood maps. It combines 15 years of data on 913 floods with human settlement maps across 169 countries to help scientists, governments and financial institutions prepare better and protect against flood-risk. Through the use of satellites and artificial intelligence, floods can be tracked in near real-time anywhere in the world to insure risk and save lives. Maps can be downloaded from 15 public and private satellites, down to 250 m resolution. The company also offers paid services and claims to have provided support to 28 governments worldwide, including to the Republic of Congo, where floods could quickly be identified to relocate at-risk refugees, secure emergency aid and provide targeted relief.
