Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20240820TCD** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in Chad between 13 to 17 October 2024. Within the cloud free analysed areas of about 1,245,000 km², a total of about 32,000 km² of lands appear to be affected with flood waters. Maximum flood water extent appears to remain stable since the period between 02 to 06 October 2024. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximum flood water extent, about 1,365,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. Amongst which ~290,000 people in Mayo-Kebbi Est Region and ~215,000 people in Logone Oriental Region. 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).
