Experience in MAPATÓN 2021: "ApuMayu" a Tool for the Analysis of Flood Risk Zones in Piura

Abstract

MAPATÓN 2021 was organized by CONIDA (Peruvian Space Agency) as part of the celebrations for the bicentennial of Peru's independence. MAPATÓN was oriented to disaster management. This work aims to transmit the experience of participation in MAPATON and communicate the results achieved. The authors participated in developing flood simulation models and analyzing SENTINEL-1 satellite images to identify areas affected by floods that occurred in 2017, 2019 and 2020. The results obtained, shown in a story map, show the great utility of this type of analysis for risk management and disaster management.
