Jamaica - GLIDE Disaster Events

GLIDEnumbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters. Each disaster is registered in a record that contains a GLIDEnumber that uniquely identifies it and allows information to be interoperable across multiple disaster information sources, both structured and textual. Accessing disaster information can be a time consuming and laborious task. Not only is data scattered but frequently identification of the disaster can be confusing in countries with many disaster events and across borders. To address both of these issues, Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed a globally common Unique ID code for disasters. Among the institutions using actively GLIDEnumbers are UN-OCHA (ReliefWeb, FSCC, HDX), UNDRR, UNDP, WMO, IFRC, FAO, the European Commission and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), among many others. Country datasets are only produced for countries with at least one GLIDE event since 1 January 2022. The global dataset contains all events available from the GLIDE API, including those not assigned to a country.

OPERA Disturbance Alert from Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (DIST-ALERT-HLS) for Hurricane Melissa October 2025

Dates of Images: November 4, 2025; November 2, 2025; October 30, 2025 Summary: The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) and Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) teams at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology created maps of surface disturbance caused by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica on October 28, 2025 using the OPERA Disturbance Alert from Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (DIST-ALERT-HLS) products. The results posted here are preliminary and unvalidated results, primarily intended to aid the field response and people who wanted to have a rough first look at the surface disturbance. The ARIA-share website has always focused on posting preliminary results as fast as possible for disaster response. All information is provisional for use under emergency response guidelines. These data are provided with absolutely no warranty of any kind. Use at your own risk. OPERA DIST-ALERT-HLS The Disturbance product (DIST) maps per pixel vegetation disturbance (specifically, vegetation cover loss) from the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) scenes. We provide the maximum vegetation anomaly value (VEG-ANOM-MAX) layer. All provided layers have been temporally filtered to include only disturbance detected following the start of Hurricane Melissa (starting October 28, 2025). Images are provided as GeoTIFF files. Note: Artifacts caused by clouds and cloud shadows are present in the product. The DIST-HLS product will eventually be updated to address these issues as more cloud-free data becomes available. VEG-ANOM-MAX: Difference between historical and current year observed vegetation cover at the date of maximum decrease (vegetation loss of 0-100%). This layer can be used to threshold vegetation disturbance per a given sensitivity (e.g. disturbance of >=20% vegetation cover loss). The sum of the historical percent vegetation and the anomaly value will be the vegetation cover estimate for the current year. Layer values: 0-100: Maximum loss of percent vegetation (suggested color: white to red gradient) 255: No data (suggested color: transparent) Satellite/Sensor: MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) on European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A/B satellites and Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) on NASA's Landsat 8/9 satellite. Resolution: 30 meters The DIST-ALERT-HLS products included here have these flags: 255 represents ''No Data'' and is based on the Fmask layer of the source HLS granule. OPERA DIST-ALERT-HLS data availability: Note: some direct straight lines on the edges of domains or within the data may represent boundaries between satellites or satellite overpasses as this is a hybrid product from multiple distinct assets. The post-processed products are available to download at https://aria-share.jpl.nasa.gov/20251028_Hurricane_Melissa/DIST-HLS/ The OPERA DIST-HLS products have been in production since January 2022, are freely distributed to the public via NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC), and can be downloaded through NASA's Earthdata search.

Binary NDVI (Landsat) for Hurricane Melissa October 2025

Dates of Images: Post-Event: November 3, 2025 Pre-Event: October 20, 2025 Date of Next Image: Unknown Summary: Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) maps are produced by converting pixel values to NDVI = (Red – NIR)/(Red + NIR), NIR indicates the near infrared band. The dynamically generated Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) layer is an index for quantifying green vegetation. It reflects the state of vegetation health based on how vegetation reflects light at certain wavelengths. NDVI change was created by subtracting the cloud-masked post-event NDVI from the cloud-masked pre-event NDVI to show areas of potentially impacted vegetation as negative values (darker shades) and healthy/unimpacted vegetation in positive values (lighter shades). NDVI change can give insights to impacts from an event (like the scouring of vegetation from the riverbeds) but can also show changes in unrelated areas like the clearing of agriculture fields. This layer is a binary NDVI change polygon (threshold of areas where NDVI decreased by -0.25 or more) for November 2, 2025 as compared to October 20, 2025. Suggested Use: NDVI change: Commonly used to distinguish healthy/active vegetation (positive values) from potentially unhealthy/impacted vegetation (negative values). This map shows a binary flag where NDVI decreased.

Experimental Luminosity Loss Map for Hurricane Melissa October 2025 (Beta; experimental) v0.3.1

This dataset is experimental and should only be used for situational awareness and data corroboration. Derived luminosity loss maps are processed data based off Black Marble BRDF nighttime light observations. This data may be used as a proxy for power loss. The original BRDF data is available at: https://gis.earthdata.nasa.gov/portal/home/item.html?id=654bc62d78fc4704923369a00a635937 Dates of Image: Pre-Event: September 2025 Post-Event: October 30, 2025-November 2, 2025; November 4, 2025; November 7, 2025; November 8, 2025; November 9, 2025 Methodology: Only a subset of the raw black marble data was used. Note that while the Disasters team has clipped data to remove false positives, some observations may be obscured by total or partial cloud cover. Other factors such as snow reflectance, moon phase, wildfires, and wildfire smoke may distort light radiance and require further analysis when assessing power outages. Certain areas were filtered out into an “Analyzed areas” map, which shows subsets of counties that were retained after certain data extents were removed: Baseline (August 2024) data with low radiance ( Cloud cover from the date of interest (in this example, September 29th) is removed from the county geometry. Counties are only included within the bounding box of the Black Marble data that was provided. Once the extent was finalized, the Black Marble Data was modified: Negative out-of-range values were changed to 0. The revised black marble pixels were extracted to the analyzed area geometry: The difference between pre and post-event total light intensity in each county was calculated to measure percent light intensity loss. This is indicated in popups as Light Intensity Loss (percentage). The percentage of analyzed area (with area omitted due to being background in the baseline or cloud-covered in the day of Black Marble) is also available in the attribute table. Lower values may reflect lower confidence in the percent Luminosity Loss depending on where the cloud cover is, especially in circumstances where the primary light source in a given geometry is obfuscated. Suggested Use: NASA's Black Marble Nighttime Light product suite is a state-of-the-art daily global collection of standard products for monitoring nighttime lights (NTL). Utilizing the Visible Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) aboard the Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 satellites. Grey represents cloud cover. Note that these maps are experimental and subject to change and development and should be used only for situational awareness.

OPERA Dynamic Surface Water Extent from NASA Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 product (DSWx-HLS) for Hurricane Melissa October 2025

Date of Images Co and Post-event: 2025-10-30; 2025-11-02; 2025-11-04 Pre-event: 2025-10-15, 2025-10-17, 2025-10-18, 2025-10-20, 2025-10-23 Summary: The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) and Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and California Institute of Technology created maps of surface water extent impacted by the flooding caused by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica on October 28, 2025 using the OPERA Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWx) from NASA Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) product.  The results posted here are preliminary and unvalidated results, primarily intended to aid the field response and people who wanted to have a rough first look at the inundation extent. The ARIA-share website has always focused on posting preliminary results as fast as possible for disaster response. All information is provisional for use under emergency response guidelines. These data are provided with absolutely no warranty of any kind.  Use at your own risk. OPERA DSWx-HLS The OPERA DSWx-HLS was used to identify surface water for the flooding event. The images provided are a mosaic of OPERA DSWx-HLS products, producing a composite image for each date. The mosaicking applied prioritized pixels classified as open surface water to preserve water pixels in region of product granule overlap. The images are provided as GeoTIFF files.  Note: Cloud/cloud shadow and snow/ice layers are derived from HLS Fmask quality assurance (QA) data, which sometimes misclassifies sediment-rich water as snow/ice. Snow/ice pixels were reclassified to open water to capture the full innundated extent. Water (WTR) Layer Description: Masked interpreted water classification layer. This represents pixel-wise classification into one of three water classes (not water, open water, and partial surface water), snow/ice, cloud/cloud shadow and adjacent to cloud/cloud shadow, ocean masked, or no data classes as a result of processing the diagnostic (DIAG) layer through all intermediate steps/layers (WTR-1, and WTR-2). Water (WTR) Layer Values: 0: Not Water - an area with valid reflectance data that is not open water (class 1), partial surface water (class 2), snow/ice (class 252), cloud/cloud shadow (class 253), or ocean masked (class 254). Masking can result in “not water” (class 0) where land cover masking is applied. (suggested color: #ffffff) 1: Open Water - an area that is entirely water and unobstructed to the sensor, including obstructions by vegetation, terrain, and buildings. (suggested color: #0000ff) 2: Partial Surface Water – an area that is considered inundated, extracted from the high value in dual polarization ratio and the wetland class in land cover map. (suggested color: #b4d5f4) 252: Snow/Ice - an area identified as snow/ice according to input HLS Fmask quality assurance (QA) data (suggested color: #00ffff) 253: Cloud/Cloud Shadow - an area identified as cloud or cloud shadow or adjacent to cloud/cloud shadow according to input  HLS Fmask quality assurance (QA) data (suggested color: #afafaf) 254: Ocean Masked - an area identified as ocean using a shoreline database with an added margin (suggested color: #00007f) Binary Water (BWTR) Layer Description: The binary water layer is derived from the WTR layer as a union of water classes (open water and partial surface water) into a binary map indicating areas with and without water. This layer is meant to provide users with a quick view for  water/no-water. Invalid data classes (snow/ice, cloud/cloud shadow along with adjacent to cloud/cloud shadow, ocean masked, and fill value) are also provided to indicate areas in which the binary classification does not provide water/no-water classification. Binary Water (BWTR) Layer Values: 0: Not Water - an area with valid reflectance data that is not water (class 1) and not snow/ice (class 252), cloud/cloud shadow  (class 253), or ocean masked (class 254) (suggested color: #ffffff) 1: Water - an area classified as open water or partial surface water (suggested color: #0000ff) 252: Snow/Ice - an area identified as snow/ice according to input HLS Fmask quality assurance (QA) data (suggested color: #00ffff) 253: Cloud/Cloud Shadow - an area identified as cloud or cloud shadow or adjacent to cloud/cloud shadow according to input  HLS Fmask quality assurance (QA) data (suggested color: #afafaf) 254: Ocean Masked - an area identified as ocean using a shoreline database with an added margin (suggested color: #00007f) 255: No data (suggested color: transparent) Satellite/Sensor: Multi Spectral Instrument (MSI) on European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A/B/C satellites and Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) on NASA's Landsat 8 satellite.

Jamaica: Copernicus Vegetation Index Anomaly (FAPAR Anomaly)

Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) is a biophysical dimensionless quantity (its values range from 0/no absorption to 1/total absorption) used to assess the greenness and health of vegetation. FAPAR anomalies can be used as an indicator to detect and monitor the impacts of agricultural drought on the growth and productivity of vegetation. The data is presented in 10-day time composite of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).
