Dominica buildings and infrastructure data

Building footprints across the area: every feature tagged `building=*`, from residential homes to hospitals, schools, and places of worship. Useful for population estimation, damage assessment, and urban planning. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: building - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

Education facilities: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building`. Useful for school-access mapping, education planning, and resource allocation.

This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in Portsmouth  (Saint John Parish) as detected by satellite image acquired after landfall of the Tropical Cyclone Maria-17 on 19 September 2017. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Pleiades image acquired on 20 September 2017 as post imagery. UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the analysed area (Portsmouth and surroundings) 782 potentially damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents 55% of the total number of structures within the cloud free analysed area. The analysis could have been underestimated due to cloud cover. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in the southeastern part of Dominica (St. Patrick & St. David Parishes) as detected by satellite image acquired after landfall of the Tropical Cyclone Maria-17 on 19 September 2017. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis combined with Copernicus analysis, identified 1304 potentially damaged structures within the extent of this map. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents about 56 % of the total number of structures within the analysed cloud free areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in South Roseau (Saint Georges Parish) as detected by satellite image acquired after landfall of the Tropical Cyclone Maria-17 on 19 September 2017. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Pleiades image acquired on 21 September 2017 as post imagery. UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the analysed area Roseau South (Castle Comfort, Citronnier and Loubiere) 863 potentially damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents about 70 % of the total number of structures within the analysed area. Evidences of floods and mudflow could be also observed in the area of Wallhouse. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
