This training hosted by NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training program (ARSET) introduces remote sensing resources available for monitoring extreme precipitation and flooding as well as flood mapping tools for flood management and planning.
This training is for individuals in local, regional, state, federal, and international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and other applied professionals interested in flood management.
