Flood GUIDE

Résumé

Ce projet pilote vise à améliorer les systèmes d'alerte précoce aux inondations par l'incorporation de prévisions basées sur l'impact.   Le projet mettra en œuvre l'utilisation du Global Flood Awareness System (GLOFAS) du Copernicus Emergency Management Service, la modélisation des inondations, et les données sur les impacts des inondations historiques pour permettre aux opérateurs des systèmes d'alerte précoce des inondations d'incorporer des informations sur les impacts potentiels associés aux inondations prévues.

Mise en œuvre régionale

Le projet pilote sera mis en œuvre dans des régions spécifiques de rivières sélectionnées au Ghana, au Guatemala, au Nigeria, au Pérou et en Afrique du Sud.

	Background Information The Flood GUIDE project is a pilot effort carried out by different organizations such as UN-SPIDER, GloFAS of the Copernicus Disaster Management Service, AIRBUS and ZFL, in partnership with national agencies from Ghana, Guatemala, Nigeria, Peru, and South Africa. The project aims to improve flood early warning systems by incorporating the use of "impact-based" forecasting as part of the system.
	Technical Information The project includes a methodology, comprised of several steps and the utilization of different tools. The methodology and the expected outcome is explained on this page.
	Study Areas The pilot project will be implemented in specific regions of selected rivers in Ghana, Guatemala, Nigeria, Peru and South Africa. Further details on these study areas can be found on this page.
