🌊🛰️ Flood Hazard Index of Sindh (2018–2025)

Developed a multi-year flood hazard map of Sindh using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery and Google Earth Engine.

📌 What this map shows:

Historical flood frequency (2018–2025)

Flood Hazard Index (0–1) → 0 = never flooded, 1 = flooded every year

Permanent water bodies separated from seasonal floods

A spatial baseline for risk assessment and early warning support

🔍 Why it matters:

This map provides critical insights into flood-prone zones of Sindh. It can support disaster preparedness, resilience planning, and future early warning systems.

🗺️ Methodology:

SAR-based thresholding, seasonal change detection (dry vs. wet months), and multi-year flood frequency analysis.
