FloodScan
Satellite Flood Mapping Service
Daily maps of large-scale inland flooding from 1998 to present, using satellite remote sensing at ~90m resolution across continental coverage areas. FloodScan provides algorithmically consistent flood extent data — free of human interpretation bias — supporting humanitarian response, insurance analytics, risk modeling, and government reporting.
Engineered for Excellence
Continental-Scale Coverage
Daily flood extent mapping across three major coverage domains: Africa, the Americas, and Asia-Australia, with coast-to-coast inland flood detection.
Passive Microwave Detection
Uses passive microwave satellite observations at frequencies sensitive to standing water, providing flood detection regardless of cloud cover — unlike optical or SAR systems.
25+ Year Historical Archive
Continuous daily flood mapping record from 1998 to present, enabling trend analysis, flood frequency studies, and actuarial risk modeling.
Algorithmic Consistency
Fully automated satellite data processing ensures objective, reproducible flood detection results without human interpretation bias or variability.
Spatial Disaggregation
Proprietary algorithms disaggregate coarse satellite observations to approximately 90m resolution flood maps, providing actionable spatial detail for local decision-making.
Proven Performance
Data-Driven Superiority
Coverage Resolution
Approximately 90m effective spatial resolution for flood extent mapping through advanced disaggregation techniques.
Update Frequency
Daily updates from multiple polar-orbiting satellite observations, with near real-time processing for rapid event response.
Historical Record
Continuous daily archive from January 1998 to present — over 25 years of consistent flood mapping data.
All-Weather Capability
Passive microwave observations penetrate cloud cover, providing flood detection even during active precipitation events when optical satellites are blinded.
What We Bring To The Fight
Humanitarian Response
Real-time flood extent mapping enables rapid situational awareness for disaster relief organizations and emergency management agencies.
Insurance & Reinsurance
Objective, timestamped flood extent data supports claims adjustment, catastrophe modeling, and actuarial analysis for the insurance industry.
Risk Analytics
Multi-decadal flood frequency analysis and trend detection for financial modeling, infrastructure planning, and adaptation strategies.
Government Reporting
Consistent methodology for national and international flood loss databases, supporting regulatory compliance and policy development.
