Ireland's CeADAR centre develops AI-based early flood warning system using satellite data for high-risk areas.

Researchers at Ireland's Centre for Applied AI, CeADAR, are developing an AI early warning system to help predict and mitigate severe flooding in at-risk communities. The project uses data collected by the European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 satellite to map historical flooding events and create an AI model that accurately predicts future flooding, up to a distance of 20 meters. The system aims to provide communities with early warnings during periods of heavy rain, allowing local authorities to take necessary emergency measures and protect homes, businesses, and livestock.
