SaferPlaces provides incredible insights for flood risk anticipation in any city, worldwide.

Background

Nowadays due to increasing anthropogenic pressure, such as soil sealing in cities and increase occurrence in extreme weather events, cities have been experiencing more and more severe flooding from different sources of hazard such as fluvial, pluvial and coastal. As water and flood management in many European cities are not up to the challenge, significant losses occur, in both economic and human life terms.

AI-driven Flood Intelligence in everyone's hands

The climate service like SaferPlaces has provided very useful data and maps for assessing the climate-proofing of Parco del Mare re-generation urban project, with particular emphasis to evaluate the impact of sea-level rise in climate change projection and identify the best mitigations and adaptations strategies to protect the Rimini municipality from future flooding. Thanks to the SaferPlaces platform the urban planning unit of Rimini Municipality can now easily assess climate hazards and identify the best adaptation and mitigation strategies.

SaferPlaces makes use of Artificial Intelligence, satellite and geospatial information, and climate data (real-time, forecasting and climate projections) to assess the risk, the extent and the damage on city infrastructure of coastal, pluvial and fluvial floods and help every city worldwide in building preparedness and climate resilience.

Simulations and results run and can be visualized in a Digital Twin model of the city, created by integrating high-resolution data from WEkEO, Copernicus, Google Earth Engine (GEE), Open Street Map (OSM), Microsoft Planetary and AMAZON.

Helping cities turn climate resilient

SaferPlaces provides key insights into flood risk by making high-resolution information and data-driven algorithms accessible also to non-expert users, in every city worldwide. SaferPlaces supports risk-informed decisions and enhances cities' resilience by providing:

Assessment of the effect of mitigation and adaptation measures for flood-related disasters and losses prevention

Early warning systems based on rapid flood prediction for a better emergency management

Investments advisory in preventive resilience-oriented solutions, with particular emphasis on Natural Based Solutions to reduce economic and humans losses.

Magellium: supporting the development of the Copernicus Land High-Resolution Snow and Ice Monitoring service | WEkEO

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What does Magellium do?

Magellium is an innovative company founded in 2003 in Toulouse that specialises in geoinformation and image processing. Under delegation from the EEA, and in collaboration with Astri Polska, Cesbio and Météo-France, they led the development and operation of CLMS' High-Resolution Snow and Ice Monitoring (HRSI) service.

What is the High-Resolution Snow and Ice Monitoring service?

The High-Resolution Snow and Ice Monitoring (HRSI) service provides high resolution data on fractional snow cover, persistent snow area, river and lake ice extent and aggregated river and lake ice extent for the 32 EEA member countries, United Kingdom and 6 cooperating countries in the Western Balkans.

Snow and ice cover monitoring is critical in many ways: it is an important parameter for weather and hydrology forecasting, as well as for water management, and is thus essential for predicting and managing natural hazards such as floods, avalanches and river ice jams. Furthermore, snow cover and lake ice cover are two of the 50 essential climate variables (ECVs) which are monitored to support the work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Finally, this information also supports the winter tourism, agriculture and forestry, hydroelectric power generation or water supply sectors.

What are the benefits of WEkEO for this project?

The HRSI service was developed and is operated entirely on the WEkEO platform. Three characteristics of the WEkEO platform have been key to the successful implementation of this service: the availability of Sentinel data, notably Sentinel-2 data; the consistency and sustainability of the WEkEO platform; and the cloud capabilities and infrastructure, such as the virtual machine and dynamic CPUs. Thanks to these characteristics, we have not faced any major problems and will be able to continue to operate and update the HRSI smoothly for the foreseeable future.

What WEkEO plan and processing environments have you used?

For this service, Magellium uses fixed yearly reserved virtual machines for the system (around 10 virtual machines with various flavours) and pay-per-use virtual machines for the actual processing (up to 400 virtual machines in parallel). Additionally, we use fixed yearly reserved object storage (S3) for the catalogue data.

What data does the service use?

The HRSI service uses mainly Sentinel-2 data, and in a second phase, Sentinel-1 SAR data (products expected for mid-September 2021), which are all available and downloadable through WEkEO.

What data is available through WEkEO?

The HRSI project highlights the benefits of WEkEO in terms of the availability of environmental and Sentinel data. Indeed, WEkEO provides access to data from Sentinel-1, -2, -3 and -5P, as well as data and products from the four Copernicus Services focused on environmental data (marine, atmosphere, climate and land). Since WEkEO is implemented by the institutions in charge of generating Copernicus data and products, the data infrastructure between those institutions and WEkEO is directly linked, rather than being duplicated. WEkEO users thus benefit from the most up-to-date Copernicus environmental data, directly from the source. Moreover, users benefit from the expert support, trainings, and uptake resources directly from the organisations that produce the data.
