This research presents the results of a survey on the extent of the affected areas in the municipality of Bregovo from the flood of the Timok River, which occurred on 11.03.2018. The application of SAR and optical data for assessment of the spatial and temporal characteristics of the occurred flood is the objective of this paper. This methodology applies orthogonal transformation of different multispectral images from Sentinel 2 mission combined with SAR data from Sentinel 1. The assessment was made on the basis of the orthogonal transformation’ components of the bands from different multispectral Sentinel 2 imagery: Tasseled Cap Transformation TCT-brightness, TCT-wetness, TCT-greenness. Indicators of quantitative changes in areas affected by the floods have been obtained. Satellite images from Sentinel 1- SAR and Sentinel 2-MSI satellite missions, orthophotography, terrestrial and in-situ terrain data from the Bregovo municipality affected by flooding were used. The processed satellite images are from different sensors and are selected by different dates before and after the day of the natural disaster. Pseudocomposite radar images with different polarization (vv,vh) were used to clarify and more precisely visualize the territorial coverage of the flood in the surveyed area. Various normalized quantitative differentiation indices (vegetation, humidity, vapors, etc., NDGI,) are generated after image processing. Results are presented for correlation between the values obtained for the different data types. On the basis of the obtained data and results, a comparative analysis of the dynamics of the changes occurred as a result of the disaster was carried out and a quantitative assessment of the changes occurred and respectively the registered negative environmental impacts in the territorial extent of the flood.
