Collection: CEMS-RM : CEMS Rapid Mapping 

Description


Activation time (UTC): 2020-10-15 10:16:00
Event time (UTC): 2020-10-12 17:00:00
Event type: Storm (Tropical cyclone, hurricane, typhoon)

Activation reason:
After a dramatic series of consecutive typhoons hitting the Vietnam central Coast these last weeks, a new storm is forecast to cause heavy rainfall in central Vietnam. Local weather forecasts predict a high chance for strong precipitation resulting in localized urban floods in Dong Hoi, Dong Ha, Hue, Hoi Han, Quang NGAI, in Central Vietnam, with a maximum water height on the 17/10/2020. The activation aims to detect the spatial extent of the flooding as currently no established in situ methods are available for this purpose.
