Title
Tropical Cyclone Maria. Damage Assessment in Southern Dominica
Description
This map illustrates potentially damaged structures and buildings in Southern Dominica 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 23 September 2017 as post imagery. Within the extent of this map UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the cloud free areas of southern Dominica 2482 potentially damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, this represent about 80 % of the total number of structures within the analysed area. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
