Flood occurs in many countries every year and often causes great losses towards mankind. The main causes of flooding are heavy rain, hurricane and undersea earthquakes (Tsunami). Monitoring and assessing such scenario is becoming a major threat for mankind. Respective authorities are on the hunt for ground breaking invention for real time flood alert system to assist them in efficiently monitor and be on the alert. This promising remote sensing technology is used to monitor flood remotely so that early precautions can be taken in the effort to save human life and mitigating flood's damages. The ability to receive relevant alerts, timely information empowers appropriate personnel to prompt danger in an effective manner. By receiving flood alert information's, this allows possible operational organizations such as private companies, hospitals, schools, public utilities and transportation entities to prepare and use their own emergency response plans to minimize potential damage. Such approach can be established in various potential flooding areas. The other feature of the system is it capable to predict the water/flood rise time and communicates accordingly to the appropriate personnel. Such afford helps them to predict flood rise time and early precautions can be taken based on the circumstances. The rise time will be calculated using the real time data provided from the remote sensing system with a simple algorithm which is embedded within the system. The system allows both transmitting and receiving data in the effort to improve the efficiency of flood assessment.
