Title
Satellite detected water extents in Mandalay, Kayah, Shan (South), Nay Pyi Taw, Bago (Est), Mon and Kayin States, Myanmar as of 03 & 23 September 2024
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20240912MMR** This map illustrates aggregated satellite detected floods using Sentinel-1 images acquired on 03 to 20 September 2024 using an automated analysis with a machine learning method. Within the analysed area of about 80,000 km², a total of about 5,100 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters and about 4,500 km² of cropland appears to be inundated. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 760,000 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.
