✦ Suggested by OrionAI**UNOSAT code: FL20220801GMB** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Kombo North/St Marie District, Brikama Region, Gambia as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 5 Aug 2022 at 11:33 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 2,340 hectares, about 22 hectares of lands appear to be flooded and about 3 km of road appear to be likely affected by the flood waters. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
**UNOSAT code: TC20220126MWI** This map illustrates the floods (cumulative) aggregated using Sentinel-1 images acquired between 26 January and 2 February 2022 about 05:00 local time. The flood analysis were carried out by using automated analysis with an Artificial Intelligence based method, and Worldpop spatial demographic data. About 102,000 people were exposed or living close to flooded areas. The population potentially exposed to floods are mainly located in the districts of Chikwawa with ~ 33,700 people and Nsanje with ~ 33,700 people. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.
**UNOSAT code: FL20250928NGA, GDACS ID: 1103409** This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in Adamawa, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe States, Nigeria, as observed from Sentinel-2 satellite images acquired on 29 July 2025 at 14:28 local time (13:28 UTC). Within the analyzed area of approximately 47,000 km², about 700 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. Based on WorldPop population data and the flood extent, approximately 19,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to the flooded areas. 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: FL20231105SOM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Juba Hoose and Juba Dhexe Region, Somalia as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 3 December 2023 at 07:39 UTC. Within the analysed area of about 20,000 km2 about 1,300 km2 of land appears to be flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
**UNOSAT code: TC20220221MDG** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Mananjary and Nosy-Varika Districts, Vatovavy Fitovinany Region, Madagascar as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 24 February 2022 at 10:00 local time. Within the analyzed cloud free zones of about 800km2, a total of about 105 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 13,400 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 send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
**UNOSAT code: FL20210729YEM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters over Sirwah, Bani Dabyan, and Al Jubah districts of Yemen as observed from a Sentinel-1 radar image acquired on 26 July 2021. Within the analyzed area of about 3,800 km2, a total of about 6.5 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 1,800 people may be potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR- UNOSAT.
