Inundaciones en Nicaragua entre el 13 y 17 de Noviembre 2020

**UNOSAT code TC20221014NIC** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in Nicaragua between 12 to 16 October 2022 compared with the period from 27 September to 01 October 2022. Within the cloud free analyzed areas of about 240,000 km², a total of about 3,200 km² of lands appear to be affected. Water extent appears to have increased of about 2,300 km² since the period between 27 September to 01 October 2022. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximal flood water extent ~120,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas amongst the 6,570,000 people living in cloud free 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).

**UNOSAT code TC20221014NIC** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in Region Autonoma del Atlantico Norte, Nicaragua between 12 to 16 October 2022 compared with the period from 27 September to 01 October 2022. Within the cloud free analyzed areas of about 30,000 km², a total of about 1,900 km² of lands appear to be affected. Water extent appears to have increased of about 1,400 km² since the period between 27 September to 01 October 2022. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximal flood water extent ~8,500 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas amongst the 29,000 people living in cloud free 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).

**UNOSAT code: TC20201116HND** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters (cumulative) aggregated using NOAA20-VIIRS in Honduras between 13 and 17 November 2020. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 140,000 people are exposed or living close to flooded areas. The potentially exposed population is mainly located in the department of Cortes with ~80,000 people, Choluteca with ~23,000 people, and Valle with ~14,000 people. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT

**UNOSAT code: FL20200128MDG** Cette carte illustre les eaux de surface détectées via le capteur VIIRS-NOAA sur le centre et le nord de la république de Madagascar entre le 23 janvier et le 27 Janvier 2020. Dans la zone analysée non couverte par les nuages, environ 850,000 personnes sont exposées ou vivent à proximité des zones inondées qui couvrent 9,475 km2. Les plaines du nord-ouest situées dans les régions de Boeny, Sofia et Alaotra Mangoro semblent être particulièrement impactées par les inondations en cours. Ceci est une analyse préliminaire et n'a pas encore été validée sur le terrain. Ne pas hésiter à envoyer vos commentaires à UNITAR-UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: TC20201103NIC** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Puerto Cabezas, Prinzapolka and Launa de Perlas Municipality, Nicaragua as observed from Sentinel-1 image acquired on 08 November 2020. Within the analyzed area of about 12,000 km2, a total of about 1,200 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 7,500 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 UNITAR - UNOSAT. Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areasand densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.

**UNOSAT code: TC20201118SLV** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters (cumulative) in El Salvador as detected by VIIRS-NOAA satellite between 13th & 17th November 2020. Within the analyzed area of about 20,000 km2, a total of about 440 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on HRSL population data and the detected surface waters, about 44,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. The potentially exposed population is mainly located in the departments of Usulutan with ~9,000 people, La Union with ~8,500 people, and Santa Ana with ~7,500 people. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
