Title
Satellite detected water extents in central part of Myanmar as of 15 September 2024
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20240912MMR** This map illustrates the floods using Gaofen-3 images acquired on 15 September 2024 at 11:45 UTC (local time). Within the analysed area of about 52,000 km², a total of about 2,000 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 312,000 people are 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 the United Nations Satellite Centre (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 the backscattering properties of the radar signal.
