Documentation

UNOSAT datasets and maps are produced using a variety of methods. In general, analysts closely review satellite imagery, often comparing two or more images together, and determine notable changes between the images. For damage assessments, refugee or IDP assessments, and similar analyses, these changes are then manually documented in the vector data by the analyst. For flood extractions, landcover mapping and similar analyses, a variety of automated remote sensing techniques are used to extract the relevant information which is then reviewed and revised as necessary by the analyst. In all cases, resulting data is then loaded into a standardized UNOSAT geodatabase and exported asshapefiles for dissemination. This is a preliminary assessment and has not yet been validated in the field. It is important to consider the characteristics of the source imagery used in the analyses when interpreting results. For damage assessments it should be noted that only significant damage to the structural integrity of the buildings analyzed can be seen in imagery, while minor damage such as cracks or holes may not be visible at all. For flood extractions using radar data it is important to note that urban areas and highly vegetated areas may mask the flood signature and result in underestimation of flood waters. Users with specific questions or concerns should contact unosat@unitar.org to seek clarification.

Potential affected buildings & impact caused by landslide and floods in Peshghor village in Khenj District, Afghanistan

This map illustrates satellite-detected landslide and flood water extent in Peshghor village and surrounding areas in Khenj District, Panjshir Province, Afghanistan as seen on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, 10 m resolution, collected on 13 July 2018, one day after the disaster happened. The landslides and floodwaters hit villages downstream because of the break-up of the natural banks of the dam. As a result, Peshghor and surrounding villages have been cut off and damages have been reported on structures and buildings. Within the current map extent Saricha primary road is potentially affected by the landslides and the overflow of Panjshir River. Around 198 buildings are located within areas affected by the landslide and 9 within areas affected by the floods. Due to the resolution of the satellite imagery, the extent of landslide and floodwaters may be underestimated and as a consequence, the number of buildings potentially affected. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
