Detailed DEM

These two topics are linked as hard to make estimate in urban areas and it is relevant to risk modeling.

Relevancy and current data and making them freely available and scaled relevant around world.

Doing flood risk management before, during, and after is an overall challenge. Assess in NRT to make a decision is a challenge.

Some social networks publish data we could consider. Project working with Facebook population density data (i.e., algorithms and capacity of using AI) as an interesting dataset and updated regularly. And in Africa, it can be difficult to get population information. Plus, there are EO-based settlement products like DLR's global urban footprint and the JRC settlement layer datasets.

WGDisasters/Disasters Program focuses on full disaster response. Is there a next step where CEOS could work with risk management/resilience piece going forward?

I think there is still need to show what is available, and a summary of time and space scales, especially in developing countries.

Facebook data is leveraging these efforts with a global population dataset, which is open source and decent. Some flood risk experts leverage this. Not sure how often updated

Knowing which tools work "best" in which situations

# data[].attributes.body
Important to know which source is the best; data looks different when you compare it so one needs which ones are good in which situations. What validation was done making it better used in x situations? Helpful to know drawbacks and strengths. Tools are tailored for different needs and different geographies.

Land imaging would be helpful as they have experts and address many subjects. There is a diversity of data and # of products out there determinig what is most suitable.

From food security perspective, talking to LSIVC folks could be really helpful.

Infrastructure piece to this; indigenous peoples are concerned about protetcting sacred properties and plants. What is a broader view on vulnerability and low hanging fruit and helping people understand their vulnerability?

People might build in a flood plain if it hasn't rained in a long time, but when that big rain comes, their houses get washed away.

WGDisasters is noting progress and success on SDGs and context of merging sci EO, geospatial, statistical, thematic, operational together. This is a gap in DRR/flood risk in particular here. This is a focus for GEO Disaster risk and potential for WGCapD going forward . We could consider this in terms of how we work within CEOS and with GEO.

We should work on citizen science, they might be the force behind collaboration with national flood risk management entities.

Report being finalized and will be available at end of month. Did not build new risk reduction/resilience efforts. But identification of existing stakeholders were identified and then relationship building over sustained period, despite difficult political time was maintained over time.

Enter when member states would like an assessment of capacity or want to build/extend capacity on a disaster. That can be floods or other topics. Mozambique is a good example and we provided training sessions after technical assessment mission. Connect within or bring in capacity from outside are two approaches to build capacity. Need request from country to follow up

# data[].attributes.body
Risk at municipal level: floods could be linked to other hazards as there are cascading effects. Big gap now is that flood information and vulnerability risk needs to be in land planning/sustainable development plans. This is a key gap. We need to better integrate that information
It will be better help to build resilience if we do this.

Sendai Framework linked here too. Significant gap is what is level for EO integrating into national or local disaster risk reduction strategies. To what extent or at all are questions. Priority from GEO is to find tangible ways to better grasp what/how and percentage of countries integrating EO into their strategies.

Navigating the most appropriate tool for needs

# data[].attributes.body
This is a key challenge so perhaps a key takeaway.

# data[].attributes.body
Great to have interoperable data and derive land products, but allowing people to make actionable decisions with all the data is great. Great you have a data cube with historical dat, but needs to be relevant to dynamic food challenges of today. Is data for today allowing us to make dynamic decisions on the fly? What tools do we provide from Europe to less developed municipality?

Data cube road is important, but there are nations where even that is a far reach and don't have access to that data. Not all decisions made at the national level. If we push to the cloud, it is still difficult to access. Still lack internet.

We didn't have data, now we have it. We didn't have technologies, now we do. But, which one do we use and where do I start is the current challenge.  Need discussions on the right choices to make, technologies available, etc. but the needs and solutions will be unique and not always the same for all. This is a challenge for capacity building. Where do you train and where and for what purpose?

People have different needs and that is unavoidable. Making relevant data possible through CEOS efforts.

We may need to do some showcases, e.g. an EWS has several aspects: the data, the communication system, the decision support system, the communication and the response teams, and so on.... So if we have the "whole package", this gives a chance to policy makers to better understand what is available and then they will promote the data usage and so on
