About this dataset

This map illustrates satellite-detected, potentially damaged structures in some affected colonies located in Venustiano Carranza, Cuauhtemoc, Benito Juarez, Coyoacan and Iztapalapa Municipalities, Federal District, Mexico. The analysis was performed by Faculty of Geography of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEMex) using as post-event satellite imagery : WorldView-2 acquired as of 20 and 26 September 2017 and Pleiades acquired as of 22 September 2017. UAEMex identified 201 potentially damaged structures within the limit of the analyzed colonies, surrounded by a blue line in this map: 24 are located in Magdelena Mixhuca colony, 22 in Aculco, 21 in Atenor Sala and 20 in El Arenal. Please do not hesitate to send 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.
