These services were instrumental in monitoring, mapping, and assessing flood impacts, supporting recovery efforts. Key Highlights 1. Monitoring and Mapping: EO services, using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite data, mapped the flooded areas and tracked the flood's progression. Advanced algorithms estimated water depth, crucial for assessing infrastructure damage. 2. Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA): The WASDI platform facilitated PDNA by providing a common workspace for accessing and processing satellite data, helping identify affected areas and plan recovery strategies. 3. Collaborative Efforts: The initiative involved the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), and was part of ESA's eDrift project, emphasizing global cooperation in disaster management. 4. Future Implications: The successful application of EO services in Pakistan demonstrates their importance in risk management and recovery, especially as climate change intensifies flood events. The integration of EO services and platforms like WASDI offers a comprehensive approach to disaster management.
