The flood analysis were carried out by using an automated analysis with Artificial Intelligence based methods. Within the analyzed area of about 2,700 km2, about 30 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 3,000 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.</dc:description><dc:identifier>water-extents-in-amboasary-atsimo-and-taolagnaro-districts-anosy-region-as-of-8-february-2</dc:identifier><dc:publisher>Humanitarian Data Exchange</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Satellite-detected water extents in Amboasary-Atsimo and Taolagnaro districts, Anosy region as of 8 February 2022</dc:title><dc:type>Datasets</dc:type><dc:coverage>Madagascar</dc:coverage><dc:date>2022-02-09</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
