About this dataset

**UNOSAT code: FL20241112COL, GDACS ID: 1102988** This map illustrates potentially affected structures in Bojayá Municipality, Chocó Department, Colombia as observed from a Pleiades satellite image acquired on 17 November 2024 at 10:40 Local Time. Within the analysis extent, UNOSAT identified 13 affected structures and 3 potentially affected structures amongst a total of 2,165 structures observed. 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).

Documentation

UNOSAT datasets and maps are produced using a variety of methods. In general, analysts closely review satellite imagery, often comparing two or more images together, and determine notable changes between the images. For damage assessments, refugee or IDP assessments, and similar analyses, these changes are then manually documented in the vector data by the analyst. For flood extractions, landcover mapping and similar analyses, a variety of automated remote sensing techniques are used to extract the relevant information which is then reviewed and revised as necessary by the analyst. In all cases, resulting data is then loaded into a standardized UNOSAT geodatabase and exported asshapefiles for dissemination. This is a preliminary assessment and has not yet been validated in the field. It is important to consider the characteristics of the source imagery used in the analyses when interpreting results. For damage assessments it should be noted that only significant damage to the structural integrity of the buildings analyzed can be seen in imagery, while minor damage such as cracks or holes may not be visible at all. For flood extractions using radar data it is important to note that urban areas and highly vegetated areas may mask the flood signature and result in underestimation of flood waters. Users with specific questions or concerns should contact unosat@unitar.org to seek clarification.

Colombia - Building Damage Assessment in the city of Mocoa

Following a large mudflow that hit the city of Mocoa (Department of Putumayo, Colombia) on 31 March 2017 as a consequence of the heavy rains, the International Charter Space and Major Disasters has been activated upon the request of the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD) / Unidad Nacional para la Gestion del Riesgo de Desastres, IDEAM. In response to this emergency, UNITAR-UNOSAT has carried out satellite based damage analysis to assess (visible) building structural damage caused by mudflows. This map illustrates satellite-detected damaged structures including building damage density in Mocoa city and its surroundings. Analysis has been undertaken by using post satellite imagery acquired by Pleiades and Geoeye-1 satellites on the 7 and 10 April 2017 and pre satellite images acquired by Worldview-2 & 1 satellites on the 21 December 2016 and 26 December 2013. As result of UNOSAT satellite analysis, a total of 1,082 buildings were detected as damaged of which 736 observed as destroyed or washed out by mudflow and 346 observed as severely damaged. Due to the pronounced incident angle and cloud cover of the satellite images, UNITAR-UNOSAT has also used orthophotos collected by Corpoamazonia in order to validate satellite based analysis. Orthophotos and additional baseline data were provided by OSM Humanitarian Mapping Unit and UMAIC (Unidad de Manejo y Analisis de Informacion de Colombia) who is also providing information management coordination support for this event. Kindly note that the number of damaged structures could have been underestimated due to the parameters of the images. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

Análisis de edificaciones visualmente dañadas en la ciudad de Mocoa, Colombia

Posterior al deslizamiento de tierra que sembró el caos en la ciudad de Mocoa (Departamento de Putumayo, Colombia) el 31 de marzo de 2017 como consecuencia de las fuertes lluvias, el International Charter Space & Major Disasters fue activado bajo la petición de la Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres, IDEAM. En respuesta a la emergencia, UNITAR-UNOSAT ha llevado a cabo análisis visible de daño en las edificaciones causado por el deslizamiento de tierra, usando imágenes satelitales de alta resolución. Este mapa ilustra edificaciones dañadas detectadas en imágenes satelitales y la densidad de daño asociada en la ciudad de Mocoa y sus alrededores. El análisis ha sido conducido utilizando como imágenes post emergencia las adquiridas por los satélites Pleiades y GeoEye-1 el 7 y el 10 de abril de 2017 y como imágenes pre emergencia las adquiridas por los satélites WorldView-2 y WorldView-1 en las fechas del 21 de diciembre de 2016 y 26 de diciembre de 2013. El resultado del análisis conducido por UNOSAT revela un total de 1,082 edificaciones dañadas, de las cuales 736 aparecen como destruidas en la imagen o arrastradas por el deslizamiento de tierra y 346 presentan daño severo. Debido al acusado ángulo y la cobertura de nubes de las imágenes satelitales, UNITAR-UNOSAT ha utilizado orthophotos colectadas por Corpoamazonia como fuente auxiliar de validación del análisis realizado con las imágenes satélites. Las orthophotos y otros datos secundarios fueron provistos por OpenStreetMap & la Unidad de Mapeo Humanitario y UMAIC (Unidad de Manejo y Análisis de Información de Colombia), quienes también han provisto apoyo en la coordinación y gestión de la información durante esta emergencia. Por favor, note que el número de estructuras dañadas ha podido ser infra-estimado como consecuencia de los parámetros de las imágenes satelitales utilizadas. Este es un análisis preliminar que aún no ha sido validado en el terreno. Por favor, envíen sus comentarios a UNITAR-UNOSAT.

Damage Assessment in Providencia Island, Providencia and Santa Catalina Department, Colombia as of 21 November 2020

**UNOSAT code: TC20201123COL** This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in Providencia Island, Providencia and Santa Catalina Department of Colombia as detected by satellite image acquired after landfall of the Tropical Cyclone IOTA on 17 November 2020. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a WorldView-2 image acquired on 21 November 2020 as a post-event image. Within the Island boundary, UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the cloud-free zones 1,110 damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents about 90% of the total number of structures within the analyzed cloud-free areas.
