This map illustrates satellite-detected reductions in flood water levels over the affected Kyauktan Township (MMR013024), south of the capital Yangon, Myanmar, as measured with Radarsat data between 7 & 10 May 2008. Changes in color over flooded areas from yellow to red indicate a larger relative amount of flood water reduction. Areas shown in dark blue indicate flood water levels on 7 May that did not significantly change from flood levels on 10 May 2008. This flood detection and affected village assessment is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
