Abstract: Flood
is the submerging of water in a normally dry area.
Floods are caused by many factors including rainstorms,
slow water run-off, intensity of rainfall, and duration
of rainfall, catchment size, earthquakes, and broken
dams. The role of remote sensing and GIS is well
established decision support system (DSS) for lanners
and decision makers for flood management.. In 2013, 64
districts of Uttar Pradesh have been affected by flood.
There are 2141 villages of 13 blocks in Siddharthnagar
district have been affected by flood 2013 (UPRSAC
report). The entire Siddharthnagar district covers an
area of 292183.25 ha. Large area of agriculture land,
population and household were affected by flood and
water logging every year. The present study indicates
the utilities of remote sensing and GIS for making DSS
for planners and decision makers to take decision in
near real-time to save human beings. The relief and
rescue operation may be planned in more effective manner
to tackle a disaster and saving life of human beings.
