Introduction Floods and flash floods are one of the deadliest and most costly natural disasters worldwide. Many deaths could be prevented by adequate warning. Estimates of rainfall from satellites are being used to support flash flood forecasting in many parts of the world through the Global Flash Flood Guidance initiative.

Flash Flood Guidance Partnership Collaboration between NOAA and the Hydrologic Research Center (HRC) to provide Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) systems for different parts of the world is supported by a MOU among NOAA, HRC, WMO, and USAID. NOAA provides satellite rainfall estimates for a HRC- developed forecasting tool used by in-country weather services to identify regions of flash flood risk. Each systems is run by the host country—a local solution to a local problem. Currently serving nearly 10% of the world’s population.

A Success Story: Namibia February/March 2011— heaviest rainfall in many areas in >120 years of records. Satellite rainfall estimates used extensively in Namibia Hydrological Service (NHS) bulletins—very positive feedback from NHS after the event. 24-h rainfall from the Hydro-Estimator from 2 February 2011.
