Somalia is one of the few countries in the world to have, twice a year (!), the river embankment breakages mapped in extreme detail. This is super important for EW-EA, flood preparedness and eventually saving lives. Kudos to @FAOSWALIM @FAOSomalia. Thanks to @AirbusDefence @Maxar
Replying to @FAOSWALIM
@FAOSWALIM River Breakages Update: ⚠️ 299 open breakage points identified; 190 on the Shabelle River and 109 on the Juba River that require immediate action ⚠️ 97 Canal flooding points and 747 Overflow points also identified bit.ly/49DecXr

#HydroSpace23 is go! Jerome Benveniste giving introductory talk. We (the community) determine the needs to advance EO for water. Scenic walking tour of Lisbon, thanks to Google not knowing location of FIL…!

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞? The @esa @ESA_EO-funded #FluViSat project ended with positive answers: yes, not only with video from space, but also with sequences of still satellite images! eo4society.esa.int/projects/…
That went well! 55 slides in 35 minutes....! Oh, the project..? Brilliant - we can measure river flow, accurately, with video & still imagery from space. Now, come and talk to me at BHS 40th next Monday & #HydroSpace23 in Lisbon.

Sharing is caring… We spent a day with national institutions and technical experts to learn the state of the art in #flood forecasting and #warning dissemination in 🇧🇩 Look forward to provide our support 🤝 – at Luxembourg
Aiming to model flood inundation, @Friendship_ngo convened a national-level multi-stakeholder roundtable discussion yesterday at Hotel Sheraton. @RssHydro @LIST_RemoteMod #FloodModelling #Flood #Inundation @runakhan_ed @KaziAmdadbd

Sharing knowledge and involving local communities are the basis of a successful project. Participatory approach is a key point in these contexts. We are conducting field visits and workshops with stakeholders to enhance our comprehension and understanding the real needs. – at Bangladesh

We're glad to have hosted @RssHydro & @LIST_RemoteMod at chars of northern 🇧🇩 where we work with some of the most vulnerable communities. We look forward to the findings which shall help to #SaveLives & in #ClimateAdaptation. #LIST #Flood #FloodAction #Research #Collaboration
Another river, another mission. In partnership with @LIST_RemoteMod & @friendship_ngo, we are exploring how to help the most vulnerable communities in 🇧🇩. The project is supported by @cooperation_lu & @FnrLux. Thanks to all partners for the meaningful cooperation.

88,000 people are affected by floods across #Niger, hitting the Southern border regions the hardest. @UN and humanitarian partners are ramping up assistance and calling for an exemption of sanctions to ensure a continued import of live-saving supplies.

Just downloading a batch of @planet #SkySat images of the #Congo..... Can we perform velocimetry with still images...? @ESA_EO #FluViSat project aims to find out! I wonder if there's a @NASAEarth #SWOT altimetry point nearby? Hmmmmm.....!
