Overview of Damage in Kibera & Huruma Estates following Post-Election Violence - Nairobi, Kenya (as of 19 Jan 2008)
This map provides an overview of the satellite-detected damage
sites in Kibera & Huruma Estates following the post-election violence
in Nairobi, Kenya. The damage analysis has been done with image-interpretation
using QuickBird-2 Imagery recorded on 7 January 2008 & Formosat-2 imagery
recorded on 9 January 2008. Additionally, QuickBird imagery from Google
Earth was used for reference. The number of buildings likely destroyed
or severely damaged was estimated for each damage site location by dividing
the total affected area by the estimated the mean building size. This is
provisional estimate only, and will be revised with a direct building count
in the next map version. These results have not yet been validated in the
field and are subject to revision.
