About this dataset

**UNOSAT code FL20230508COD, GDACS Id: 1101981** This map illustrates the potentially damaged structures/buildings affected by landslides in Chabondo village, Kalehe Territory, Sud-Kivu Province, DR. of the Congo as detected from a Pleiades image acquired on the 09th May 2023. Within the extent of this map, at least 544 structures appear to be affected or potentially affected by landslides. 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.

Lava flow and affected structures caused by Nyiragongo volcanic eruption, Nord-Kivu Province, DR Congo

**UNOSAT code: VO20210523COD** This map illustrates potentially affected structures and buildings in Nyiragongo district, Nord-Kivu province, DR Congo as detected by satellite image acquired after the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo volcano on 22 May 2021. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a TerraSAR-X image acquired on 24 May 2021, at 16:13 UTC, to observe the lava flow. Within the analysis extent, about 1,600 structures are potentially affected by the lava flow. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT. Important Note: Lava flow analysis from radar images may overestimate the presence of the lava tract due to the backscattering properties of the radar signal.

Coulée de lave et structures affectées suite à l'éruption volcanique du Nyiragongo, Province du Nord-Kivu, RD Congo

**UNOSAT code: VO20210523COD** Cette carte illustre les structures et bâtiments potentiellement impactées par la coulée de lave dans le district de Nyiragongo, province du Nord-Kivu en République Démocratique du Congo suite à l'éruption du volcan Nyiragongo du 22 mai 2021. A partir de l'analyse d'une image radar TerraSAR-X acquise le 24 mai 2021 à 16:13 UTC, UNITAR-UNOSAT a observé une coulée de lave qui s'est arrêtée à 700m des installations aéroportuaires. Sur l'étendue de l'analyse, environ 1,600 structures sont potentiellement impactées par la coulée de lave à la date d'acquisition de l'image radar. Ceci est une analyse préliminaire et n'a pas encore été validée sur le terrain. Veuillez d'envoyer vos commentaires à UNITAR-UNOSAT. Note: L'analyse de coulée de lave à partir d'une image radar peut surestimer la trace de la coulée de lave à cause du coefficient de rétrodiffusion du signal radar.
