Title
Maria Tropical Cyclone. Damage Assessment in Portsmouth,Saint John Parish, Dominica
Description
This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in Portsmouth (Saint John Parish) as detected by satellite image acquired after landfall of the Tropical Cyclone Maria-17 on 19 September 2017. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Pleiades image acquired on 20 September 2017 as post imagery. UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the analysed area (Portsmouth and surroundings) 782 potentially damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents 55% of the total number of structures within the cloud free analysed area. The analysis could have been underestimated due to cloud cover. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
