Fire hotspots density in Lebanon and Syria as detected by VIIRS between October 15-16, 2019

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Akkar, Tartous and Homs Governorates, in Lebanon and Syria, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 21 October 2019. Approximately 549 ha of potentially burned areas were detected by UNOSAT as of 21 October 2019 (red). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Al-Haffa and Al-Qardaha Districts, Lattakia Governorate, Syria, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 21 October 2019. Approximately 433 ha of potentially burned areas were detected by UNOSAT as of 21 October 2019 (red). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in South and El Nabatieh Governorates, in Lebanon, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 19 October 2019. Approximately 80 ha of potentially burned area were detected by UNOSAT as of 19 October 2019 (red), This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Aley and Chouf districts, in Lebanon, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 19 October 2019. Approximately 1275 ha of potentially burned areas were detected by Copernicus-EMS as of 17 October 2019 (orange) and additional 92 ha of burned were detected by UNOSAT as of 19 October 2019 (red), which is equivalent to approximately 7% increase in affected surface area. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of displaced person settlements in the Idlib, Lattakia and Aleppo Governorates, Syria. Using satellite imagery collected between 7 September 2016 and 10 February 2017, covering an analyzed area of 9,039 sq km (903,920 ha), UNOSAT identified 267 locations where possible displaced persons shelters are visible. Approximately a total of 63,771 shelter structures are estimated to be within the 1,501 ha of settlement 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 areas of satellite detected fires in Buthindaung, Maungdaw, and Rathedaung Townships in the Maungdaw and Sittwe Districts of Rakhine State in Myanmar. Analysis used satellite- fire detections collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on multiple dates from 25 August to 25 November 2017. A total of 171 fires were detected in different areas across Rathedaung, Buthindaung and Maungdaw townships during this period. While fire detections were spread out across the entire period analyzed, some notable clusters occurred on 28 August, 29 August, 3 September, 15 September, 25 September, 9 October, and 6 November, as indicated in the map. Days of peak fire detection occurred on 28 August and 15 September as indicated in the chart. Note that due to cloud cover and satellite overpass times many fires occurring in the area during this period would not have been detected, and are generally only detected if the satellites are overhead while the fire is sufficiently active and clouds are not interfering. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
