    UNOSAT code: FL20210630NPL This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Province 1 and 2 as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 1 July 2021 at 05:58 local time and using an automated analysis with Artificial Intelligence based methods. Within the analyzed area of about 110,000 km2 and, about 645km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters in the analyzed area, about 700,000 people are potentially 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 UNITAR-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 backscattering properties of the radar signal.
