The methodology of creating cartography is a part of it Initial delimitation Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping is best required in different zones. This requires a combination Advanced teledetector techniques y participation ciudadana, que permitieron tener un buen conocimiento del área afectada en un corto plazo.
The area surrounded by Dana River is 562.7 km2, part of which consists of houses, companies and infrastructures.

It was essential to create good delimitation so that the flood could affect people, infrastructure and services once it occurred. Safety information is available has a good territorial base Urgent care is needed to restore the emergency. “Esta create an important and formative convir of cartographic era en la que mejor podiamos ayudarpuesto que tenemos las tecniques y el conocimiento del territorio necessario,” said Zornoza.
The citizen participation phase collected information from local agencies and affected individuals, providing accurate information on the extent of flooding in their areas. “This is a first approximationthis will be improved by additional field studies, but the first-hand information of the people involved in the disaster was the basis for doing it in record time, only una semana después del sucesso, Serrano concluded.
The work was developed by Ana Camarasa, professor of physical geography and director of the RIUMED research group. various research projects It is funded by both the central government and the Generalitat to study torrential rains and their effects in Mediterranean basins. social education tools Inundaciones ante el risego de inundaciones, agraviadas and in the actual climate context.
