Satellite Detected Surface Waters Extent in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam

This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface waters in Binh DinhNam Province, Vietnam, as observed from the Sentinel-1 image acquired on 10 November 2017, following the landfall of tropical cyclone DAMREY-17 on 05 November 2017. The districts located in the coastal areas have been affected by the floods; especially the ones located in the southern coastal part of the province and more particularly Phu Cat, An Nhon, Tuy Phuoc and Qui Nhon districts. Around 17,000 ha of lands were identified as flooded within the province of Bihn Dihn. It represents an increase of ~140 % of the surface waters in the analyzed zone. In this analyzed area and according to the WorldPop data, more than 100,000 people are potentially exposed to flood waters. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface waters extent in southern part of Vietnam, as observed from the Sentinel-1 images acquired on 07 November 2017, following the landfall of tropical cyclone DAMREY-17 ON 05 November 2017. In the analyzed area, 700,000 ha of lands, mainly agricultural and paddy fields are likely flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

**UNOSAT code: TC20201013VNM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Quang Nam Province of Viet Nam as observed from a Radarsat Constellation 1 image acquired on 17 October 2020. Within the analyzed area of about 6,000 km2, a total of about 135 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 84,000 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 areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.

This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface waters extent and evolution in Central and Eastern Quang Nam Province, Vietnam, as observed from the Sentinel-1 images acquired on 07 November 2016 and 01 December 2016. Within the analysed zones representing 75% of the total province area, an increase of surface waters extent was observed between the 07 November 2016 and 01 December 2016. ~26,200 ha of surface water were observed the 07 November 2016 and reached ~39,000 ha the 01 December 2016. All over the analysed area, it corresponds to an evolution of about 50 % : Thang Binh District (+5,300 ha), Nui Thanh District (+2,800 ha), Tam Ky Township (+1,530 ha) and Phu Ninh District (+1,140 ha). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface waters in Phu Yen Province, Vietnam, as detected from Sentinel-1 image acquired on 10 November 2017, following the landfall of tropical cyclone DAMREY-17 on 05 November 2017. In the analysed area, about 19,000 ha of lands are likely flooded. It represents an increase of about 100% of the surface waters in this zone. In addition, and according to WorldPop data ~39,000 people are living within the potentially flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: TC20201013VNM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Quang Binh Province of Viet Nam as observed from a TerraSAR-X image acquired on 18 October 2020. Within the analyzed area of about 5,000 km2, a total of about 420 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 160,000 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.
