Title
Satellite detected water extents between 29 December 2023 and 2 January 2024 over Republic of Congo
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20240102COG** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected minimum floodwater using VIIRS in Republic of Congo between 29 December 2023 and 2 January 2024. Within the cloud free analysed area of about 330,000 km2, a total of about 1,000 km2 of lands appear to be affected with flood waters. Based on Worldpop population data and the minimum flood water coverage, ~114,000 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 provide ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Minimum floodwater extent indicates the portion of the pixel (375m) covered by 80 to 100% of flood water.
