Emmanuel-Kipngetich/Vulnerability-Assessment-of-Human-Settlement-to-Floods

This approach aims to be a quick tool for users of any experience level to create information about flooding. The code is to be input into Digital Earth Africa Analysis Sandbox and run according to the area and dates specified by the user in the analysis parameter section. After the process has run, the code will create a delineation of flood extent using Sentinel 2 Level 2 Surface Reflectance data and change detection methodology. The code will also produce information about urban areas and population density exposed.
