M 7.4 in South of San José del Palmar, Colombia 10 August 2026 at 12:34 UTC

**UNOSAT code: EQ20260625VEN, GDACS ID: 1548377** This application provides geospatial information on satellite based-assessments related with the 7.2 & 7.5 magnitude earthquakes sequence in Venezuela of 24 June 2026. Important note: The boundaries and names shown, and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations. The United Nations Satellite Centre -UNOSAT is not responsible for the misuse or misrepresentation of the map.

**UNOSAT code: EQ20260810COL, GDACS ID: 1557236** This map illustrates structures and buildings affected by the magnitude 7.4 earthquake with an epicentre south of San José del Palmar town in Colombia, with analysis focused on Viterbo in Caldas Department, approximately 50 km from the mainshock epicentre. Damage and destruction were identified primarily using Pleiades very-high-resolution satellite imagery acquired on 12 August 2026. In this area 55 buildings were identified as damaged and 99 were identified potentially damaged buildings. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Ground verification is encouraged, and feedback can be sent to the United Nations Satellite Centre.

**UNOSAT code: EQ20260810COL, GDACS ID: 1557236** SUMMARY OF FINDING Satellite imagery dated 11 August 2026 confirms visible structural damage on one building and possible debris in San José del Palmar municipality. Satellite imagery dated 11 August 2026 confirms possibly induced landslide along the departmental route, San José del Palmar-Ansermanuevo / RD48-02, in San José del Palmar municipality. No other visible widespread structural damage could be observed from satellite imagery in San José del Palmar town within the cloud-free areas as of 11 August 2026.

**UNOSAT code: EQ20260810COL, GDACS ID: 1557236** Este mapa presenta una evaluación de daños basada en imágenes satelitales de la ciudad de Zarzal, departamento Valle del Cauca, ubicada aproximadamente a 50 km del área epicentral del terremoto de magnitud 7,4 ocurrido el 10 de agosto de 2026 en Colombia. Los daños fueron identificados principalmente en una imágen satelital Pléiades de muy alta resolución, adquirida el 13 de agosto de 2026. Dentro del área analizada, se identificaron 21 edificaciones con daños y 180 edificaciones como potencialmente dañadas. El alto ángulo de incidencia (>40°) de las imágenes satelitales utilizadas para este análisis puede afectar la precisión de los resultados. Por lo tanto, las estimaciones de daños derivadas de imágenes satelitales con un ángulo de incidencia tan elevado deben interpretarse con precaución. Este es un análisis preliminar que aún no ha sido validado en campo. Se recomienda realizar una verificación en terreno. Los comentarios y observaciones pueden enviarse al Centro de Satélites de las Naciones Unidas.

**UNOSAT code: EQ20260810COL, GDACS ID: 1557236** This map illustrates satellite-based damage assessment density in the city of Zarzal, Valle del Cauca Department, approximately 50 km from the epicentral area of the magnitude 7.4 earthquake of 10 August 2026 in Colombia. Damage was identified primarily using Pléiades very-high-resolution satellite imagery acquired on 13 August 2026. Within the analysed area, 21 buildings were identified as damaged and 180 were identified as potentially damaged. The high incidence angle (>40°) of the satellite imagery used for this analysis can affect the accuracy of the analysis. Damage estimates from such high-incidence-angle satellite imagery should therefore be interpreted with caution. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Ground verification is encouraged, and feedback can be sent to the United Nations Satellite Centre.
