EuroFlood Index - Satellite-Derived Flood Depth Maps for Europe

A queryable spatial index over the JRC/Copernicus CEMS-EFAS Satellite-Derived Flood Depth Maps (Europe, 2015–2025): one Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF maps each ~90 m pixel to the historic flood events that touched it, plus a Parquet dictionary and per-event metadata; so tools can find which floods hit a location without downloading the depth rasters. Built with the euroflood Python library. Source © JRC/Copernicus EMS, licensed CC-BY-4.0.

What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: historic flood-event index per ~90 m cell (which floods touched a location) · per-event metadata (start/end date, year, source download_url) · flood-depth GeoTIFF rasters, fetched on demand · flood-recurrence heatmap and max depth / flooded area / volume stats via the euroflood library
Coverage docs-verified: Europe · 2015–2025
Resolution docs-verified: ~90 m grid (pixel)
Formats docs-verified: Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF · Parquet
Access docs-verified: Free, public, anonymous HTTPS/S3 access (no credentials); licensed CC-BY-4.0, with attribution to the JRC/Copernicus source dataset and this index required

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: FRA screening: list historic flood events that touched a site before downloading any depth rasters · Flood-history context for a drainage or civils scheme, pulling only the depth GeoTIFFs for events that hit the site · Floodplain ecology baseline: inundation history for wetland or habitat assessment at a Europe site
Audience llm-inferred: flood consultants · hydrologists · GIS analysts · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Historic events only (2015–2025); not a forward-looking hazard or return-period product · Stated coverage is 'Europe'; UK coverage is not explicitly confirmed in the docs · ~90 m pixels are unsuitable for property-scale detail · Direct use needs GDAL/rasterio (or similar) for COG access; the easiest route is the Python euroflood library · Maintained through a single GitHub repository, so long-term maintenance is not guaranteed
