This atlas map product illustrates satellite-detected areas of likely building and vegetation damages caused by the magnitude 8.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami on 29 September 2009. A total of 9 separate focus maps are included, highlighting damage sites identified from post-disaster satellite imagery collected from 30 September to 4 October 2009. Damage identification was restricted by the partial coverage and spatial resolution of the imagery, as well as by cloud cover. It is probable therefore that damages have been underestimated. This assessment is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT. Map projections for Focus maps (1:6,000-14,000 for A3 Prints); Projection : UTM Zone 2 South Datum : WGS-84 (EGM-96). | |
