<p>Floods have become more frequent across the globe leading to loss in life and property. As per the 2021 World Meteorological Organization Atlas (1970-2019), there has been 58,700 deaths reported in the last 50 years due to extreme events.  The present work aims to improve governance for tackling the extreme events, floods, affected by the forces like social, physical infrastructure changes and the policies are responsible for the changes in the state of the system. It has been tried to capture the associated risk influencing metrics with these events by using remote sensing products, through the lens of socio-environmental approach where the human and natural system interactions were analysed. The objectives of this paper are: To characterise the indices ( or metrics) and the functionalities that causes change in state of the system required for the evaluation of the risk and resilience due to floods;<br>and to map the discrepancies persisting in the federal standards and policies of disaster risk management of floods and the regionalized flood prone areas. This will help us to better understand the resilience of the socio-ecological system and identifying the key areas of improvement in the administration at different levels.</p>
