SUITABILITY
From MyDewetra World
The identification of the user ecosystem is based on the extended experience of the various partner and a desktop review of relevant European projects in the field of floods, natural hazards and satellite data.
This table below is intended to point GFM's users to the kind of service that could be more suitable for their needs.
A full overview of thepossible ways to access GFM's products is given here.
| Field | Purpose | Through |
| Civil Protection | NRT situational awareness |
|
| Operational Hydrological forecasting | NRT verification of impact-wise forecasts | |
| DRR-related planning | Retrieval of historical flood-prone areas | access to the full archive within a specific client application and draft sets of prescriptions to decrease the current risk level or avoid creating new risk |
| Research | Calibration/validation of hydrological/hydraulic forecast models | Download the entire archive of the global flood monitoring product output layers in raster format to calibrate / validate hydrological/hydraulic forecast models |
| Test flood mapping alternative algorithms | Access and download the Sentinel-1 data used to derive the flood maps over a certain region for specific events and compare them to GFM outcomes | |
| Flood mapping algorithms calibration | Upload a proprietary algorithm on the Cloud and run it on the full archive of the GFM maps or on a temporal/spatial subset of it | |
| Flood models calibration | Access the full archive the flood maps in raster or vector format and calibrate the model on the basis of the historical flood maps | |
| Insurance | NRT Disaster loss estimate | Access in NRT the flood maps in raster or vector format to outline a footprint-based estimate of disaster loss |
| Non-expert end use (NGOs, flood-related service providers, general public) | NRT actionable information |
