Reviewer 3 Report

I do not recommend this manuscript for publication in its present form. A major revision is strongly required to enhance the quality of this study, including the scientific importance and logical soundness. My concerns are listed as follows,

1)       The background information of this study should be strengthened.

2)       Why select a flood event occurring at Yellowstone National Park in June 2022 as a case study? Among the recorded 3,062 natural flood disasters over the past two decades, what is the specific importance of this case study?

3)       What are the research gaps between the existing studies?

4)       To what extent can the UAV platform quickly investigate flood events and associated disasters? For instance, the UAV is prone to a limited power supply and catastrophic climate, then it is not suitable for monitoring regional and large-scale flood events, particularly compared with the satellite-borne optical and SAR platforms.

5)       Generally, this study lacks the innovation of research design. What are the new methods developed for new datasets? What are the new findings compared with previous studies? What are the major limitations of this study, and what plan for improving the research quality?

Round 2

Reviewer 3 Report

Generally, this latest version of this manuscript still lacks of innovation in methodology since there have been cumulative case studies using the UAV platforms for disaster monitoring.
