The products elaborated in the framework of current mapping in rush mode activation arerealized to the best of our ability, within a very short time frame during a crisis, optimising theavailable data and information. All geographic information has limitations due to scale,resolution, date and interpretation of the original data sources. The products are compliantwith GIO-EMS RUSH Product Portfolio specifications.
Heavy monsoon rains in India and surrounding countries during the summer of 2012 causedthe Brahmaputra river and its tributaries to flood, with the water reaching a critical level in thestate of Assam (NE India). Several people were reported missing, and thousands maroonedor displaced.This map is foreseen to assist authorities in understanding the shift in the position of the riverbed, and planning for future flood events, which occur annually.
No restrictions on the publication of the mapping apply.Delivery formats are GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, GeoJPEG and vectors (shapefile and KML formats).
