Title
Damage Assessment & Related Density in the Central & Southern Parts of Dominica
Description
This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in the Central and Southern parts of Dominica (St. Patrick, St. Mak, St. George, St. Luke, St. David & St. Paul Parishes) as detected by satellite image acquired after landfall of the Tropical Cyclone Maria-17 on 19 September 2017. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis combined with Copernicus analysis, identified 12,873 potentially damaged structures in this zone. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represents about 70 % of the total number of structures within the analyzed areas. Please note that some areas could not be analyzed due to the cloud cover. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
