Presentation Details

In October 2024, the Spanish region of Valencia faced severe flooding that underscored the critical need for accessible and actionable data. This presentation will explore two innovative use cases where FME facilitated data integration and availability during the crisis. The first case demonstrates how FME was used to process and convert satellite imagery and other geospatial data into formats tailored for rapid analysis by emergency teams. The second case delves into making human mobility data—collected from mobile phone signals—accessible as source-destination matrices, offering key insights into population movements during and after the flooding. These stories highlight how FME’s powerful capabilities can bridge the gap between raw data and decision-making, fostering resilience and preparedness in the face of natural disasters. Attendees will gain practical insights into how FME can support crisis management and urban planning in a changing climate.
