Satellite detected water extent over Sambava and Vohemar Districts, Sava Region, Madagascar as of 01 April 2024

This map illustrates satellite-detected water extent as of 07 January 2018 over Toamasina districts, Atsinanana Region, in Madagascar as detected by Sentinel-1. Some standing water areas could be observed north and south of Toamasina, mainly in the agricultural and/or open areas along the river. It is likely that floodwaters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. 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 water extent as of 07 January 2018 over Mananjary district, Vatovavy-Fitovinany region, in Madagascar as detected by Sentinel-1. ~ 1000 ha of land over the communes of Tsiatosika and ~1300 ha in Ankatafana seem to be inundated. These zones are mainly agricultural and/or swamps. These waters are the results of recent heavy rains following the cyclone AVA-18 which made landfall the 05 January 2018. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas, due to the special characteristics of the satellite data used. 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 water extent as of 07 January 2018 over Vohipeno & Manakara Atsimo districs, Vatovavy Fitovinary Region, in Madagascar as detected by Sentinel-1. As of 07 January 2018. Several communes of these districts seem to be affected by inundations due to to the heavy rains that have followed the cyclone AVA-18. ~1,000 ha of lands appear to be likely affected in Vohitrindry, ~ 800 ha in Lanovo and ~400 ha in Vohilany communes. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR 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: TC20220221MDG** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Vangaindrano district, Atsimo Atsinanana region, Madagascar as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 1 March 2022 at 10:00 local time. Within the analyzed cloud free zones of about 300km2, a total of about 25 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 5,500 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).

This map illustrates satellite-detected water extent as of 10 March 2017 over Antsahanoro commune, Antalaha district in Madagascar as detected by TerraSAR-X. As of 10 March 2017, ~ 335 Ha of land over Antsahanoro commune seem to be inundated and have experienced an increase of standing waters. These zones are mainly agricultural and/or swamps in the commune of Antsahanoro. These waters seem to be the results of the recent heavy rain related also to the cyclone ENAWO-17 which made landfall the 07 March 2017. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR UNOSAT.
