**UNOSAT code: FL20240502BGD, GDACS ID: 1001064** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Sylhet Sadar, Bishwanath, Dakshin Surma Upazilas, Sylhet district, Sylhet division, as observed from a SAOCOM-1A satellite image acquired on 26 June 2024 at 17:45 local time. Within the analysed area, about 134 km² of land appears to be flooded. Furthermore, within the analysed area, about 70,000 structures are identified as potentially affected by the floods (60% from the total structures in the analysed area), along with about 254 km of roads, as of 26 June 2024 This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

**UNOSAT code: FL20220525BGD** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters and impact in Sylhet and Sunamganj Districts, Sylhet Division, Bangladesh as observed from a RCM-1 image acquired on 18 Jun 2022 at 17:54 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 1,325 km2, about 840 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. In this area, about 140 km of roads and 1 km of railway appear to be likely affected by the flood waters. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 839,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.
