The Senegalese Agency for
Space Studies (ASES) has reviewed the initial results of its Flood Intelligence
Project, an initiative aimed at strengthening flood monitoring and early
warning capabilities through the use of Earth Observation data and artificial
intelligence.
The first results-sharing
meeting for the ASES and SOLAFUNE Flood Monitoring Solution was held on Friday,
July 31, bringing together project partners to assess progress made and discuss
the next steps in developing an innovative flood monitoring system.
The meeting was held under
the leadership of ASES Director General, Mr. Maram Kaire, and provided a
platform for stakeholders to exchange insights on the project’s implementation,
evaluate achievements and identify opportunities to further enhance the solution.
The Flood Intelligence
Project leverages satellite-based Earth Observation technologies combined with
artificial intelligence to improve the monitoring, prediction and management of
flood risks.
Through the initiative, ASES
and its partners aim to strengthen access to reliable information that can
support decision-making by authorities and improve preparedness in communities
affected by flooding.
