Last Wednesday, the #Birch Glacier in Switzerland collapsed beneath debris, burying parts of the evacuated village of #Blatten. Using #Swisstopo’s openly available #RapidMapping geodata, professionals quickly produced detailed pre- and post-event textured #3D models and animations, enabling interactive exploration and enhanced understanding of the impacted area.

### Unwetterfolgen Schweiz
Wer sich für die Folgen der letzten #Unwetter in der #Schweiz interessiert, bekommt hier eine gute Bildquelle.
"#Rapid #Mapping ist eine Dienstleistung des Bundes zur zeitgerechten Erhebung und Bereitstellung von Geodaten (z. B. Luft- oder Satellitenbilder) für die Ereignisbewältigung und –dokumention im Fall von Naturereignissen. Die zuständigen Stellen auf allen föderalen Stufen (Bund, Kantone, Gemeinden) werden bei der Beurteilung und Dokumentation der Auswirkungen von Naturereignissen aktiv unterstützt."

Aktuell gibt es Bilder zu folgenden Ereignissen:
- Hochwasser #Wallis
- Hochwasser/#Rutschungen #Tessin
- Hochwasser- / #Murgangsituation im #Misox #Kanton #Graubünden
Die Autobahn #A13 ist übrigens inzwischen wieder vollständig wiederhergestellt.

The impacted list is long, and the work is immense, but we can help.
Photographing damaged houses and infrastructure is vital for effective disaster response. This helps assess damage, plan rescues, and allocate resources efficiently. Documenting damaged vehicles also adds valuable insights. @qfield Rapid Mapper empowers volunteer citizens to contribute to quicker, coordinated emergency responses.

Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Mapping is a service funded by European Commission aimed at providing actors in the management of natural and man-made disasters, in particular Civil Protection Authorities and Humanitarian Aid actors, with mapping products based on satellite imagery.

Due to strong #jetstream which, since end of November, dumped one moist Atlantic Low after the other over middle and Northern Germany, her Northern rivers were overflowing since before Christmas. Newsreporting and live ticker never said how big the actual affected area is. But it felt like a third of the country at least – just from the persistent presence in my news feed and in my mind.
Today, I pondered how I could get figures for hectare if journalists don't report them... first, I thought of #NASA GRACE drought monitoring which could maybe be used in reverse or whatever. But then I found something better: Germany had activated @CopernicusEU to monitor several rivers in their program #RapidMapping. Since the activation, #Sentinel 🛰️ takes a photo every day and the software guesstimates flooded hectare, flooded roads, rails and affected number of people.
You can find your own country's past or active Copernicus activations here https://rapidmapping.emergency.copernicus.eu/
Germany's current one for Lower Saxony is here https://rapidmapping.emergency.copernicus.eu/EMSR712/download
The hectares flooded, 46365, appear to be 0.12% of the country's area 357600 km2
Okay. Not a third of the country, then 😁
