About this dataset

**UNOSAT code: TC20200408FJI** This map illustrates potentially damaged structures, buildings and their related density in Kadavu Province, Eastern Division, Republic of Fiji as detected by satellite images acquired on 12 April 2020. Within the Kadavu Province, UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the cloud free zones 1,003 potentially damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by OpenStreetMap, this represents about 22% of the total number of structures within the analyzed cloud free areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - 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.

Buildings Damage Assessment & Related Density in South of Sanma Province, Vanuatu

**UNOSAT code: TC20200403VUT** This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in south of Sanma Province, Vanuatu as detected by satellite image acquired after landfall of the Tropical Cyclone Harold-20 on 6 April 2020. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis identified about 5,200 potentially damaged structures in the analysis extent across the south of Sanma province within the cloud free areas. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents about 33% of the total number of structures/buildings within the analyzed cloud free areas. Please note that some areas could not be analyzed due to the cloud cover. Total and final estimates by municipality are summarized in the table below. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

Damage assessment of Waai area, Eastern part of Salahutu District, Maluku Tengah Regency, Maluku Province

**UNOSAT code: EQ20191001IDN** This map illustrates satellite based structure damage assessment in the Eastern part of Salahutu District, Indonesia that was affected by the 6.8 magnitude earthquake of the 26th of September 2019 with an epicenter located north of Kamarian in Kairatu District. UNITAR-UNOSAT has identified within the extent of this map 17 potentially damaged structures around Waai village in Salahutu District. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap we estimate to less than 2% the total number of structures potentially damaged. Taking into account the type of structural damage and the satellite based damage assessment analysis characteristics and limitations; it is possible that the damage is underestimated. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
