Nicaragua GIS data

**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).

This dataset contains administrative polygons grouped by country (admin-0) with the following subdivisions according to Who's On First placetypes: - macroregion (admin-1 including region) - region (admin-2 including state, province, department, governorate) - macrocounty (admin-3 including arrondissement) - county (admin-4 including prefecture, sub-prefecture, regency, canton, commune) - localadmin (admin-5 including municipality, local government area, unitary authority, commune, suburb) The dataset also contains human settlement points and polygons for: - localities (city, town, and village) - neighbourhoods (borough, macrohood, neighbourhood, microhood) The dataset covers activities carried out by Who's On First (WOF) since 2015. Global administrative boundaries and human settlements are aggregated and standardized from hundreds of sources and available with an open CC-BY license. Who's On First data is updated on an as-need basis for individual places with annual sprints focused on improving specific countries or placetypes.

**UNOSAT code: TC20201116NIC** Este mapa ilustra las inundaciones detectadas por el satélite NOAA-VIIRS en Nicaragua entre el 13 y 17 de Noviembre. Dentro del área analizada de aproximadamente 95,000 km2, un total de aproximadamente 2,000 km2 de tierras parecen estar inundadas. Basado en los datos de población de Worldpop y la extensión de las aguas superficiales detectadas, alrededor de 100,000 personas están potencialmente expuestas o viven cerca de áreas inundadas. La población potencialmente expuesta se encuentra principalmente en el departamento de Chinandega con ~25,000 habitantes, en el departamento de Manague con ~16,000 habitantes, y em el departamento de Atlántico Norte con 10,000 habitantes. Se trata de un análisis preliminar que aún no ha sido validado en el terreno. Por favor envíe comentarios a 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.

Railway lines and stations tagged `railway=*`: rail lines, tram tracks, and stations. Useful for transport accessibility analysis and basemap context. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: railway - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT
