Resource details

Summary
FloodScan global flood maps and administrative statistics distributed through HDX. The release includes an Excel workbook and a 90-day archive of flood and baseline rasters. The stated rolling coverage ends 4 September 2026; Nepal-specific usability remains under review.
Review findings
Automated screening suggests potential eligibility. Known local product rediscovered by direct package name after Nepal text query returned zero; stated rolling 90-day coverage now ends 4 September2026. Global 300-arcsecond flood maps and zonal statistics require spatial clipping and no-data/algorithm review. Coarse detections cannot resolve every narrow mountain channel. Independent human screening and manuscript inclusion remain pending. All 2 asset metadata records were assessed in REV-20260907-ASSETS-001; 0 have flagged follow-up. Asset screening and field evidence are available in the metadata review export. This does not assign resource eligibility or manuscript inclusion.
