This map presents a satellite-based assessment of visible building damages and destruction in the city of Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao, Philippines following the flash floods and landslides on 17-18 December 2011 caused by tropical storm Washi (Sendong). A total of 1,073 buildings were identified as destroyed and a further 171 buildings with possible severe damages. Over 4,000 buildings were assessed in an area centred along the main river of Cagayan de Oro using satellite imagery acquired on 19 December 2011. These damage figures represent high confidence, minimum estimates; actual damages are likely to be significantly larger, specifically water-related damages to the interior of structurally-intact buildings. Further, several hundred buildings situated along the river have not been assessed because of cloud cover. This is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT. Map Projection UTM-51N, map scale 1:29,000.

This report provides a detailed analysis of spatially-distinct concentrations of IDP shelters within the urban extent of Mogadishu, and assesses the date periods the camp sites were likely formed as well as the larger settlement patterns, trends and security dynamics underlining IDP movements. Identified IDP sites were further assessed for construction/shelter type, specifically looking for the presence of emergency tent shelters, a common barometer of active support from international aid organizations and NGOs. Satellite imagery acquired on 4, 12 September, and 7, 15, 18 October 2011 was used for this updated report. There are known IDP settlements located within permanent buildings that have not been identified, and are not reflected in the estimates presented in this report. This report is part of an on-going satellite monitoring program of UNITAR / UNOSAT of the Horn of Africa crisis in support of international humanitarian assistance and created to respond to the needs of UN agencies and their partners.
