## Editorial
ICEYE Flood Rapid Impact is a commercial L3 flood extent data product for near-real-time event monitoring during rising and peak phases of major floods.[^iceye-fri-page][^iceye-fri-launch] It delivers GeoPackage vector flood extent layers generated from SAR acquisitions and machine-learning analysis.[^iceye-fri-page][^iceye-fri-launch] Flood Rapid Impact refreshes flood extent every 6 to 12 hours during qualifying subscription events, while the UK pilot-era interval was 8 to 12 hours.[^iceye-fri-page][^iceye-fri-launch][^iceye-uk-flood-lifecycle-2024] Insurance users apply Flood Rapid Impact to event loss estimation, underwriting moratorium management, resource planning, and late-reported claim detection.[^iceye-fri-page] Utility, government, banking, and insurance teams use the snapshots for emergency coordination and operational decisions as flood conditions evolve.[^iceye-fri-page][^iceye-fri-launch]
