Abstract
Flooding is a natural disaster characterised by overflowing water onto normally dry land, resulting in widespread damage and disruption to communities. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies, accurate flood maps can be created. The Change Detection approach was employed using pre-processed Sentinel-1 SAR data. Pre-processing steps, including Thermal-Noise Removal, Radiometric Calibration, and Terrain Correction, were carried out using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. This methodology allows for accurate and reliable analysis of land cover changes and provides valuable information for land management and decision-making processes in the region. The purpose of this study was to estimate the damage caused by flooding. The flood status between 18 August 2022 and 28 August 2022 was analysed. The estimated flood extent based on Sentinel-1 SAR data is almost 759,642 ha. The estimated number of people exposed is almost 663,797, estimated using the Global Human Settlement Layer (2015), with a resolution of about 250 m. Based on a MODIS land cover dataset with a resolution of 500 m, the estimated area of crops damaged is almost 415,450 ha and estimated urban area affected is almost 8435 ha.
