Abstract

Floods are not extraordinary natural disasters; in fact, it happens every year in Asian countries. In the future, climate change will increase the likelihood of flooding in most urban areas due to extreme events and rising sea levels. The objective of this article is to provide an overview and systematic literature on the remote sensing approach in order to examine and analyse urban floods in Asian countries. This paper highlights various aspects of remote sensing and its applications in flood studies in Asian countries particularly. For mapping and analysing urban floods, remote sensing data and methods such as high-resolution data from optical and SAR satellites are vital. This technology is able to analyse and display visualizations of a geographical area because the action of identifying and understanding the possibility of flood risk areas accurately is very important to reduce the risk during a disaster. The finding shows that remote sensing technology has been used in Asian countries widely in terms of surveying, identifying, classifying, mapping, and monitoring natural resources, environment, and disasters in the context of flood risk analysis. The majority of Asian nations employ remote sensing imagery from optical and microwave satellite sensors. Remote sensing technology is capable of disaster monitoring, mitigation, damage assessment, security, preventive, training, information exchange, and regional and worldwide collaboration. The right procedures through this technology should be made to mitigate a disaster for achieving the resiliency of cities. Every level of project design, execution, and monitoring should put in a valiant effort to address the existing flood disasters.
