The Italian region of Emilia-Romagna was devastated by severe floods in May 2023, claiming lives and displacing thousands of people, resulting in an estimated €8.8 billion in damages. With the region still grappling with the aftermath, satellites have been instrumental in assessing the damages of the affected areas.
The SaferPlaces platform, co-funded by the ESA InCubed programme, has been utilised by the Civil Protection of the Emilia-Romagna region to generate flood water and depth maps to take crucial decisions after the disaster and support the assessment of the damages of the affected areas. The platform utilises satellite, climate data and AI-based models combined into a cloud computing environment to provide insights into areas prone to floods across the globe.
SaferPlaces’ AI-based algorithms were used to process terrain data and information on the flooded areas obtained by merging in situ data with multiple satellite sources including: Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2, CosmoSky-Med, Planet and SPOT.
Information on the flooded areas and the affected buildings conducted by local municipalities and data provided by the Emilia-Romagna Civil protection were also integrated to fill the gaps and increase the accuracy of urban flooded areas when not captured by satellites.
Maps portraying the extent of the flooded areas in the most affected municipalities, Faenza, Cesena, Forlì and Conselice, were generated with information on the depth and volume of the water.
