✦ Suggested by OrionAI**UNOSAT code: TC20240313MOZ, GDACS ID: 1001053** This map illustrates satellite detected surface waters in Maputo province, Mozambique, as observed from a Sentinel-1 images acquired on 27 March 2024 at 18:23 local time (16:23 UTC). Within the analyzed areas of about 2,000 km², a total of about 45 km² of lands appear to be flooded. 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). 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: FL20251229MOZ** This map illustrates the flood extent derived from Sentinel-1 imagery acquired on 23 January 2026. Within the analysed area of approximately 43,500 km², an estimated 3,000 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. Based on WorldPop spatial demographic data, approximately 230,000 people are exposed to or living near 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). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to the backscattering properties of the radar signal.
This map illustrates the cumulative satellite-detected surface waters in central provinces of Mozambique and particularly the Sofala province and its surroundings, as observed from the Sentinel-1 imagery acquired between 13 & 26 March 2019. Within the analysis extent. over Sofala and Manica provinces, a total of 170,000 km2 of surface imagery were analyzed and about 10,000 km2 of lands experienced floods within this period. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
