✦ Suggested by OrionAI**UNOSAT code FL20230131ZMB** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in Zambia between 07 to 11 February 2023. Within the cloud free analysed areas of about 653,000 km² and based on Worldpop spatial demographic data and the maximum flood water extent, about 400,000 people out of 19 million are potentially exposed or living close to maximum floodwaters 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).
