Building footprints across the area: every feature tagged `building=*`, from residential homes to hospitals, schools, and places of worship. Useful for population estimation, damage assessment, and urban planning. 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: building - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

**UNOSAT code: TC20260408SLB, GDACS ID: 1001268** This map illustrates the structures and buildings damaged by the passage of Hurricane MAILA-26, with the analysis focusing on Ranongga Island. Damage and destruction were identified primarily using Pleiades very high-resolution satellite imagery, acquired on 15 April 2026, and supported by aerial imagery for validation. In this area, UNOSAT identified approximately 320 damaged buildings and 370 potentially damaged buildings. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Ground verification is encouraged, and feedback can be sent to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
