After heavy rain, rivers were overflowing. The Severn River was of particular concern. Gloucestershire received almost a whole month's rain in two days.

Local Civil Protection authorities ask for satellite based support to the UK Cabinet Office…


3 days after

ERCC

…that activates GIO Emergency Service soon after receiving the request.


1 hour later

Satellite Data are required to ESA and the Procurement and Production Plan is quickly provided to the User…

EMSR_022 Floods in UK Category Arc/New Satellite Sensor/Beam Start Sensing Status Reception date # of scenes

Delivery of the the first post flood image (COSMO-SkyMed 27/11/2012), available for flood analysisRadar images are not of immediate understanding, need interpretation……but GIO Emergency Provider has the skills to extract information……and put it in a user friendly fashion: a MAP combining reference data with crisis information.

8 hours later

In the same day arrived another post flood image (COSMO-SkyMed 28/11/2012), that was used to monitor the most critical areas

…and a second information on current flood extent was provided to the User.
