• A rapid mapping of the flood affected areas was carried out using pre-postMODIS data.
• This was followed by use of SPOT 4 and SPOT 5 data for detailed damageanalysis.
• The information was supplied in regard to monitoring damages toinfrastructure, settlements, canal breaches, roads, bridges, railways andcropped area.
• Temporal flood inundation mapping, extent of flood water and statistics forvarious attributes regarding flood damage
• Geographic and agriculture area damaged and extent losses in crop yield andproduction for Kharif season
• The flood recession statistics are being provided on 5 daily basis
