Short summary
Fast flood assessments are important for providing effective help during emergencies and planning for future floods. This study presents a new automated way to quickly measure flood depth. Using satellite images and digital elevation models, this method makes it easier to get real-time flood information. We applied this new method to several flood-prone areas in India and found that it provides more accurate results than existing flood measurement tools.
