The GeoService Damage Assessment from Earthcube detects all changes which are larger than 500 m2. The change may be due to a damage an event like a storm, earthquake, fire, hail or flooding has caused.
For this and many other damage assessment tasks this GeoService highlights within your selected area of interest all affected objects. The add-on options allow you to further categorize the type of the changes: You can choose between one or multiple maps, which delineate the effect of the event on trees (deforestration), infrastructure, on agricultural fields or show the flood extent.
Recommended use
Insurance companies, farmers, environmental consultants and actually everyone interested to assess the damage after an event can use this service and integrate the results in his workflows. Geospatial experts easily embed the digital maps into their GIS analysis. If one or more of the add-on options are chosen, the individual maps on forest or infrastructure change are represented as separate layers within the resulting shape file. The change detection report in PDF format is designed to be part of any official documentation.
Infrastructure damage in Amatrice, Italy, Earthquake 2016
In summer 2016 the region of Amatrice in Italy was hit by a disastrous earthquake. From left to right you see Landsat-8 images before the event (Aug 12th), after the event (Sep 2016), and the change detection. For your reference we added very high resolution images as shown in the product ShowMySite before and after the Earthquake.
