Interpretable Flood-Risk Prediction System for the Sudd Wetland Region, South Sudan
# π Interpretable Flood-Risk Prediction System
### Sudd Wetland Region, South Sudan
An interpretable machine learning system for predicting flood risk in the Sudd Wetland Region of South Sudan using satellite-derived environmental data and historical flood information. The project combines multiple machine learning models with explainable AI (SHAP) to support disaster preparedness and informed decision-making.
