Flood monitoring: Through Darthmouth’s ‘River Watch’, floods can be monitored worldwide.
The Global Flood Detection System from GDACS is also an excellent resource.
In the immediate aftermath of an earthquake, the likely impact of an earthquake can be remotely assessed by analysing different factors, using different online sources and tools. The following step by step approach presents the different types of parameters and factors that you will need to measure and assess in order to reach a reasonable conclusion on the earthquake impact
This disaster summary sheet (DSS) provides a general profile of the potential impact of an earthquake. The DSS helps understanding what the actual impact and priority needs after an earthquake may be, based on experience and lessons learnt from medium and large scale earthquakes that have occurred in the past.

Access - The ability to approach, obtain and make use of goods and services (GPCWG 2011).
Affected areas - Provinces or municipalities affected by the hazard…Not all people in those areas [will] necessarily require humanitarian response – normally only a percentage of the people in the affected area require humanitarian assistance (IASC 2011).
Affected population - People requiring immediate assistance during an emergency, including basic survival needs such as food, water, shelter, sanitation and immediate medical assistance (GPCWG 2011).
Due to the scarcity of publically available reports on the impact of the current floods, this document is mainly based on pre-disaster secondary data and provides a snapshot of relevant information as of the 28 of April 2012. Needs analysis should be undertaken at the field level as more in crisis information becomes available and comparison with pre-disaster information becomes feasible.

Partnership between Internews' Humanitarian Information Projects and ACAPS wins internal Mobile App Competition
(March 21, 2012) A new mobile app designed to make it easier for humanitarian agencies to share up-to-date information was selected for development in the first internal Mobile App Competition organized by the Internews Center for Innovation & Learning. The app is a collaboration between Internews' Humanitarian Information Projects and the Assessment Capacities Project (ACAPS).
About this document: This desk study presents estimations of scale, severity and likely impact of a disaster and aims to inform decision making for preparedness and emergency response. Information has been collected through a review of secondary data, contact with the field and lessons learnt from past similar crises. The DNA is intended to complement and integrate assessment-related data from other agencies. Feedback to improve the DNA is welcome (dna@acaps.org).
