Title
Maria Tropical Cyclone. Damage Assessment in Roseau South, Saint Georges Parish, Dominica
Description
This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in South Roseau (Saint Georges 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 21 September 2017 as post imagery. UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the analysed area Roseau South (Castle Comfort, Citronnier and Loubiere) 863 potentially damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents about 70 % of the total number of structures within the analysed area. Evidences of floods and mudflow could be also observed in the area of Wallhouse. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
