EO Portal has an article about Envisat monitoring China's largest lake and rivers flooding. From the article: "Flooding is classed as the world's most costly type of natural disaster. As part of Dragon, Envisat ASAR and MERIS images have also been acquired and processed in near-real time for mapping of flood events and as inputs for flood risk management."

Two geoblogs offers several links on the floods in the U.K, first, on the Brain Off blog and then two entries from Mapperz. From the Brain Off: " This thread about UK flood mapping on the OpenStreetMap mailing list demonstrates that OpenStreetMap is one of the best angles to approach mapping for disaster response. [...] The floods again highlight issues with closed government data. The Environment Agency has come under criticism for restricting use of flooding data after the floods last month in the North."
