This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters over western Rakhine State, Myanmar, in the areas of Ann and south of Myebon townships, as imaged by the ALOS-2 / PALSAR satellite on 12 August 2015. In the analyzed area a total of ~3,800 ha of lands are affected by floods, mainly agricultural and/or paddy fields. The surface covered with water in the analyzed area has increased from a pre-flood level of 3.8% to 4.6% during the flood period. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas near the main river banks, and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

Data as of June 11, 2015. The "Syria Refugee Sites" dataset contains verified data about the geographic location (point geometry), name, and operational status of refugee sites hosting Syrian refugees in Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq. Only refugee sites operated by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or the Government of Turkey are included. Compiled by the U.S Department of State, Humanitarian Information Unit (INR/GGI/HIU), each attribute in the dataset (including name, location, and status) is verified against multiple sources. The name and status are obtained from the UNHCR data portal (accessible at http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/regional.php). The locations are obtained from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's GEOnet Names Server (GNS) (accessible at http://geonames.nga.mil/ggmagaz/). The name and status for each refugee site is verified with PRM. Locations are verified using high-resolution commercial satellite imagery and/or known areas of population. Additionally, all data is checked against various news sources. Locations are only accurate down to the city level. The designation field gives the type of site and the status of the site. Sites can be "Official Camps", camp settlements that are officially established and maintained by the United Nations or host country. Sites can also be "Transitional Camps", which is a typical camp structure but designed to be temporary or used on as needed basis. There can also be "Transitional Facilities"; these are facilities that are being used to temporarily house refugees. Status of these sites can be Planned, Under Construction, Staged, Open, or Closed. The data contained herein is entirely unclassified and is current as of 11 June 2015. The data is updated as needed.

This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of flood water as observed in Sentinel-1 imagery collected 24 November 2014 and 18 December 2014. Waters extended along coastal areas and shores of inland lakes, with few large bodies of flood waters detected. Numerous roads and railroads are likely inundated by flood waters which may impede transport in those areas. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated in highly vegetated areas along main river banks, and within built-up urban areas because of the characteristics of the satellite data used. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR /UNOSAT.
This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of IDP shelters in the UN House compound in Juba, Central Equatoria, South Sudan. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of WorldView-3 satellite imagery acquired 18 August 2016 revealed a total of 8,706 shelters as well as 345 infrastructure and support buildings within the compound. This represents an increase of approximately 2.7 percent in shelters and an increase of roughly 50 percent in infrastructure and support buildings since the previous UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of 27 June 2016 satellite imagery. New structures and containers were detected within PoC2 on 27 June 2016, as seen in inset 2. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of damage and related density in Jama city, Manabi Province, Ecuador. Located at approximately 100 km south of the 16 April 2016 Muisne earthquake mainshock epicenter and using a WorldView-2 satellite image acquired 02 May 2016 and a WorldView- 2 image acquired 02 December 2013. UNITAR-UNOSAT created a damage site density index for affected areas in the city of Jama. The analysis revealed a total of 151 potentially damaged structures of which 105 are destroyed, 34 severely damaged and 12 moderately damaged. This is a preliminary analysis and not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
This map illustrates satellite-detected shelters and other buildings at the Al Zaatari refugee camp in Mafraq Governorate, Jordan. As of 30 June 2016 a total of 25,815 shelters were detected as well as 1,879 infrastructure and support buildings within the 534 hectares of the camp. Between 12 October 2015 and 30 June 2016 a total of 2,568 shelters were constructed, with even more removed, indicating an approximate 4.26% decrease in the number of shelters between 12 October 2015 and 30 June 2016. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field; structure locations subject to a spatial error margin of +/- three meters. Shelters grouped under plastic sheeting were estimated by average household size and may be a source of error. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters in the northwestern part of Rakhine State in the townships of Kyauktaw, Mrauk-U and Ponnagyun, Myanmar as imaged by the SENTINEL-1 satellite on 14 July 2016. Heavy rains at the onset of the monsoon season have caused flooding. The most affected lands seem to be mainly agricultural and/or paddy fields, many of which are of course frequently inundated at other times as well. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
This data illustrates shelters in the area of the Hadalat crossing on the Syrian-Jordanian border. Using a satellite image collected by the Deimos-2 satellite on 13 July 2016, UNOSAT located 2,132 probable shelters. This is a 9% increase in shelters since the previous UNOSAT analysis done using an image collected 14 May 2016. Due to the small size and the irregularity of the shelters it is likely that some shelters may have been missed in this analysis, or some shelters were included erroneously.
This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of IDP shelters in the UN House compound in Juba, Central Equatoria, South Sudan. UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of WorldView-1 satellite imagery acquired 27 June 2016 revealed a total of 8,477 shelters as well as 231 infrastructure and support buildings within the compound. This represents an increase of approximately 3.2 percent in shelters and a decrease of roughly 3.3 percent in infrastructure and support buildings since the previous UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis of 25 September 2015 satellite imagery. While no structures were detected within PoC2, containers were visible in this area on 27 June 2016, as seen in inset 2. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
