The impact of climate change is felt in every region of the world. Bangladesh is one of the world’s climate-risky countries. Almost every year the sudden horrors of the flood come down during the monsoon season. Over the years the same scene is repeated. It is a cruel repeat of nature. Every time we are ready. But every time a thousand families lose all. Not only the houses in the flood water, the lives, dreams and future of the people are flooded. The flood may not be completely stopped. But if we can move towards pre -planned and planned management, it is possible to control the damage to the floods a lot. It is important to use advanced technology to predict floods in the country. Information technology has a huge role to play in the present world in predicting the flood situation. In the present modern age it is possible to observe the expansion, depth, and course of floods using satellite images, real-time data, artificial intelligence (AI) and various sensors. As a result the disaster managers make it easier to make decisions quickly. It is also possible to improve the prediction of floods using this technology and create an effective strategy for disaster management. At present the satellite imagery has become a very easy topic to improve the prediction model of satellite by using sophisticated AI and machine learning. It helps to make quick and effective decisions in disaster management. Also, telemetry systems like sensors, cameras and alarms can be monitored on the water level. On the other hand with the help of modern satellite technology the warning before the flood can be greatly reduced and also reduce the loss of fatal and resources. Flood -affected areas can help in monitoring, loss of damage, and planning and management of the flood after the flood drone using satellite and sophisticated drones. In addition there are many benefits using satellites and advanced technology drones in remote areas and distribution of relief materials. Emergency telecommunication systems can be set up using satellite-based VSAT technology if the mobile network and other communication systems are broken in the flood-hit areas. This can helps people in the flood-hit area to keep in touch with their relatives and authorities. Before the flood is likely the common people have to do various awareness tasks. Although floods are a natural disaster, there are also some possibilities that can be used for the development of the country through proper management. Currently mobile applications and social media platforms are being used to provide flood information, warnings and suggestions. These technologies are very important to improve flood management. Proper information and predictions help people to be ready for disaster and reduce damage.
