The goal of this research project is the realization and the implementation of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) prototype and the related geoportal, to store and analyse geospatial information useful to support flooding forecasting.The system will embed models and methods devoted to public participation for data integration, consultation and analysis by the community (mainly on site during the event), according to a Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) approach.Satellite and crowdsourced data,acquired during the events and directly available into the SDI, will be a support to define the actual event scenario and to generate cartographic products representing the flooding impact. This generated information will be provided to the competent authorities for the emergency management and also will be used to refine the hydrological model and to upgrade the system with more complete pre-defined event scenarios.
