ArXi:2603.13803v1 Announce Type: new Floods are among the costliest natural catastrophes globally, yet the property and casualty insurance industry's post-event response remains heavily reliant on manual field inspection: slow, expensive, and geographically constrained. Satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) offers cloud-penetrating, all-weather imaging uniquely suited to rapid post-flood assessment, but existing research evaluates SAR flood detection against academic benchmarks such as IoU and F1-score that do not capture insurance-workflow requirements.
