✦ Suggested by OrionAI**UNOSAT code: FL20240912MMR** This map illustrates the floods using Gaofen-3 images acquired on 15 September 2024 at 11:45 UTC (local time). Within the analysed area of about 52,000 km², a total of about 2,000 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 312,000 people are 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 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.
**UNOSAT code TC20220928THA, GDACS Id: 1000922** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand as observed from a GeoEye-1 image acquired on 20 October 2022 at 10:35 local time. Within the analysis extent of this map, about 120 km² of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters within the analysis extent, approximately 32,000 people are potentially exposed to or living close to flooded areas along with 11,330 structures and approximately 400 km roads potentially damaged by flooding. 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: FL20240912MMR** This map illustrates aggregated satellite detected floods using Sentinel-1 images acquired on 03 to 20 September 2024 using an automated analysis with a machine learning method. Within the analysed area of about 80,000 km², a total of about 5,100 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters and about 4,500 km² of cropland appears to be inundated. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 760,000 people are 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 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.
Floods in Rakhine State, Myanmar-Situation Analysis Preliminary Report
This map illustrates satellite-detected destroyed or otherwise damaged structures in Maungdaw and Buthindaung townships, Maungdaw District, Myanmar. The analysis found a total area of more than 400 thousand square meters of destroyed structures occurring between 16 and 25 September 2017. This represents an increase of approximately 2% since last UNOSAT analysis with imagery collected on 16 September, when more than 20 square kilometers of destroyed structures were identified. Additionally, 122 fires were detected within the area between 16 and 25 September 2017 by the MODIS and VIIRS sensors, with recent fire detections indicating destruction is likely ongoing. Most of the detected fires are located in the proximity of the affected areas as observed in the imagery collected 25 September. Finally, heavy cloud cover during the period in question, and on 16 and 25 September especially, indicates that destruction and fire detections are likely underestimated in this analysis. 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 destroyed or otherwise damaged structures in Maungdaw and Buthindaung townships, Maungdaw District, Myanmar, as seen in satellite imagery collected on 16 September 2017. The analysis found a total area of more than 20 square kilometers of destroyed structures within the 2,000 square kilometers analyzed. According to other data on town locations it is likely that more than 160 towns are affected within the area analyzed. Additionally, 144 fires were detected within the area between 25 August and 21 September 2017 by the MODIS and VIIRS sensors, with recent fire detections indicating destruction is likely ongoing. Most of the detected fires are located in the proximity of the affected areas as observed in the imagery collected 16 September. Finally, heavy cloud cover during the period in question, and on 16 September especially, indicates that destruction and fire detections are likely underestimated in this analysis. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
