UNRAVELING THE TEMPORAL IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY-SCALE HUMAN ACTIVITY FEATURES FOR RAPID ASSESSMENT OF FLOOD IMPACTS

Unraveling the Temporal Importance of Community-Scale Human Activity Features for Rapid Assessment of Flood Impacts

The objective of this research is to explore the temporal importance of community-scale human activity features for rapid assessment of flood impacts.Ultimate flood impact data, such as flood inundation maps and insurance claims, becomes available only weeks and months after the floods have receded.Crisis response managers, however, need near-real-
