Enhancing Anticipatory Actions for Disaster and Climate Resilience aims to reduce the loss of lives and damage to properties and crops from floods and droughts by improving early warnings using satellite data and geospatial information.
The Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and Assessments Service assesses climate change impacts on vulnerable communities, water resources, and ecosystems in order to better address resilience building activities.
Through the Improving the Mekong River Commission's (MRC) Regional Flood Forecasting Service, SERVIR Mekong supported the MRC to use new-generation satellite-derived precipitation products to increase flood forecast accuracy.
The Supporting Better Riverine and Flash Flood Forecasting for the Lower Mekong service improves riverine flood forecasts and enhances flash flood guidance monitoring in the region.
Densely populated communities living along low-lying deltas in Southeast Asia are dependent on the underground water stores these deltas provide for their livelihoods. Read about recent SERVIR activities toward helping this region use NASA's publicly available satellite data to support decision making on water resources issues.
The Mekong River Commission (MRC) is an intergovernmental organization that provides coordination and technical input on flood management to the members of the Lower Mekong countries including Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The ability to transform data into actionable information and obtain easily accessible, analysis-ready Earth observation (EO) data is often a critical missing link for decision makers in the developing world.
Lower Mekong countries suffer from the effects of seasonal flooding and flash flooding caused by monsoon rains and tropical storms. Regional and national level organizations and agencies require a range of information, forecasts, and decision-support tools to better prepare for, monitor, issue warnings, and respond to flood risk.
