Spatio-temporal Analysis on Urban Development and Scenario-based Flood Risk Assessment

This project demonstrates the planning of spatial urban development for flood risk analysis targeting the area around the Greater Mekong Basin under the SERVIR Mekong Program by USAID and NASA. The project creates land-coverage and land-use maps using satellite data, overlays the data with flood models, and visualizes risk information using a spatial analysis tool for helping stakeholders in decision making. A pilot program is underway from July 2017 to March 2018.
