Floods may be detected and monitored by remote sensing by detecting changes of a water-body's border. Early warnings are possible e.g. by remote sensing of snow properties or by meteorological predictions of heavy rainfalls. Remote sensing also allows the evaluation of the extent of damages to roads, buildings and other constructions, agricultural areas, forests and the environment. ENVISYS proposes a system that integrates these functions and tools for support to counter-actions.
