The training aims at evaluating the design flood damage assessment tools by integrating the HEC-RAS flood extent model result into a GIS data extraction module for onward economic and financial cost assessment.

Aims to build capacity on technique for sharing, validating and dissemination of products and services developed by the consortium.

Understand drone piloting and image acquisition; Initiate the processing of drone images for flood monitoring and management; Use the products resulting from the processing of drone images for flood monitoring and management.

Training on the application of Sentinel data to flood modeling, damage assessment and forecast services.

This Training introduces participants to the Principles, Development, Types and Applications of APIs.
