Disclaimer: Flood extent maps are derived from high quality satellite data using a scientifically validated retrieval algorithm. No liability concerning the contents or the use thereof is assumed by the producer. The information has limitations due to the quality and resolution of the original data sources, as well as the uncertainties associated with the retrieval algorithm. Please be aware that the thematic accuracy might be lower in urban and forested areas due to inherent limitations of the SAR analysis technique. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
