Session
Open-source geospatial tools and GeoAI can be used to map flood risk and support early warning systems in informal settlements. Using Sentinel-2 data, machine learning, and socio-economic indicators, it presents a scalable workflow for improving climate resilience and disaster risk management in resource-constrained environments.
