Dataset description

<br/> Activation time (UTC): 2023-05-16 11:00:00<br/> Event time (UTC): 2023-05-16 05:00:00<br/> Event type: Flood (Riverine flood)<br/> <br/> Activation reason: <br/> A new wave of severe weather has hit again the areas in southeastern Emilia-Romagna region that were already flooded on 2 May 2023 when three people lost their life. The rains are favoring the movement of landslides in these areas of the middle Apennines already affected, where prevoiusly several hundred people were displaced. On 16 May 2023 at 11:00 the new perturbation has again raised river levels and hydrometric threshold was reached in the basins of the Idice, Samoggia, Savio, Marzeno, Voltre, Marecchia, Pisciatello, Ausa, and Montone rivers. New overflows are expected in the areas as well as possible evacuations. Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping is requested to provide initial rough estimation, flood and landslide extent identification and monitoring.<br/> <br/> Reference products: 0<br/> Delineation products: 0<br/> Grading products: 0<br/> <br/> Copernicus Emergency Management Service - Mapping is a service funded by European Commission aimed at providing actors in the management of natural and man-made disasters, in particular Civil Protection Authorities and Humanitarian Aid actors, with mapping products based on satellite imagery.<br/>

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
