Title
Satellite detected water and landslide/mudflow extents in Brazzaville Department, Republic of Congo as of 8 February 2024
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20240102COG** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters and landslides/mudflow extent in the Brazzaville Department, Republic of Congo, as observed from a WorldView-2 image acquired on 8 February 2024, at 10:31 local time. Within the analyzed area of 30,000 hectares, approximately 190 hectares of landslide scars/ mudflow extent are observed, and about 400 hectares of land appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data, the detected surface waters and the extent of landslides/mudflows indicate that about 30,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to landslide and flooded areas. UNOSAT identified a total of 458 structures potentially affected by landslide and flood, along with 19 affected road. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please provide ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
