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 map presents the standing flood waters over the affected districts in Cagayan Province, Philippines, folowing the tropical cyclone ´Pedring´ as based on analysis of satellite imagery collected on 29 September 2011. Please note that the exact limit of the flood waters is uncertain because of the relatively low spatial resolution of the satellite sensors used for this analysis, Detected water bodies likely reflect an underestimation of all flood-affected areas within the map extent. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field.

This map illustrates satellite-detected stream networks, roads and urban areas around Divilacan in the Isabela Province, Philippines. analysis is based on detection methods using FORMOSAT & SPOT acquired over the area on 26 October 2010. ASTER global elevation model (GDEM) was also used in the stream analysis. This base data assessment is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field.
