✦ Suggested by OrionAI**UNOSAT code: FL20211008COD** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Ituri Province as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 04 October 2021. Within 5 km around Lake Albert, about 40 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. The water extent appears to have increased since August 2019 and based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters in the analyzed area, the potentially exposed population is mainly located in the Zone de Santé of Nyarambe with ~5,200 people, Gethy with ~ 3,300 people and Tchomia with ~1,550 people. 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: FL20231229COD** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters and landslides in Kinshasa Province, Democratic Republic of The Congo, as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 28 December 2023, at 10:21 local time. Within the analysed area of 44,000 ha, approximately 3 ha of landslide scars are observed and about 460 ha of land appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data, the detected surface waters and the landslide scar extent, about 25,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to landslide and flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please provide ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
**UNOSAT code: FL20240102COG** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected minimum floodwater using VIIRS in Republic of Congo between 29 December 2023 and 2 January 2024. Within the cloud free analysed area of about 330,000 km2, a total of about 1,000 km2 of lands appear to be affected with flood waters. Based on Worldpop population data and the minimum flood water coverage, ~114,000 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 provide ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Minimum floodwater extent indicates the portion of the pixel (375m) covered by 80 to 100% of flood water.
