We’re developing this area in phases. Future content includes:

• Flood early warning & situational awareness (forecasting, mapping, rapid products)

• Fire risk awareness (secondary focus, as capacity allows)

• Pilots & partnerships with agencies, NGOs, and research institutions

• Open documentation where appropriate, with safeguards for sensitive information

• Capacity building to strengthen local and regional resilience through tools, knowledge transfer, and institutional support

• Training programmes to equip partners and stakeholders with the skills to interpret and operationalise risk intelligence

When floods hit, responders need an unbroken record to see how hazard is changing. But the public VIIRS flood archive has a coverage gap from 2021 to mid-2023. Blu-H holds a complete, continuous copy of that record  2019 to 2025, just three days missing  and is moving it to the cloud so researchers and humanitarian partners can discover and render it directly, through an open STAC catalogue on Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro.

• Complete 2019–2025 coverage, filling the public 2021–2023 gap

• Cloud-native:  STAC API with dynamic tiling on Planetary Computer Pro

• Open data: derivatives released under CC0 1.0
