The Republic of South Sudan: Flood Hazard - Flood Event Frequency on Settlements, 2019 to 2023 (Production date: 05 June 2024)

Attachments

Note: Settlement Flood Event dataset indicates number of years flooded in a particular settlement between 2019 and 2023 across South Sudan based on maximum flood extent detected in each year. Each annual dataset is an aggregation of all flood analyses undertaken by UNOSAT in that year in the settlement areas. These are developed based on satellite-detected water using NOAA/VIIRS in cloud-free areas. The lowest value of 1 indicates 1 flooding event in a settlement between 2019-2023, whilst a maximum value of 5 indicates 5 flooding events in a settlement during this period. 0 (None) indicate settlements with no flooding events.
