Abstract: India is one of the world's regions that is most vulnerable to natural disasters, which results in yearly in Hyderabad also losses of property, infrastructure, and human lives. Monitoring and evaluating the floods and other disasters can be done from a unique vantage point by using air and space-based observations of the globe. Geospatial technology has significantly enhanced flood research, particularly in the first three phases of floods. Specifically, there are three phases: a) preparation for floods; b) monitoring for floods; and c) recovery from floods (damage assessment and mitigation phase). Agriculture, socioeconomic, communication, population, and infrastructure data are all included in the GIS data set that was developed during the preparation phase. In the event of a serious flood crisis in Hyderabad, this can be utilised in conjunction with the flooding data to adopt an evacuation strategy, rehabilitation planning, and damage assessment.
