Title
Satellite detected waters in CAR and Cagayan Valley regions, Philippines as of 13 November 2020
Description
**UNOSAT code: TC20201111PHL** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in CAR and Cagayan Valley regions, Philippines as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 13 November 2020 at 17:58 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 18,000 km2, a total of about 970 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 370,000 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.
