This map illustrates floodwater depth in Nabua and Baao Municipalities, Camarines Sur Provinces & Bato and Libon, Albay Province, Bicol Region (Region V) of Philippines based on surface waters observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 1st of November 2020 and digital elevation model data with the floodwater depth estimation tool (FwDET).

This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

Important Note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.
