TC-2008-000033-MOZ
Reported Building Damages in the Cyclone Affected Districts of Nampula Province, Mozambique

Product ID: 1125 - 14 Mar, 2008 - English

GLIDE: TC-2008-000033-MOZ

Product FOOTPRINT (LAT x LONG, WSG84 Geographic, decimal degrees)
TopLeft: -14.207233 x 38.58457
BottomRight: -17.116724 x 41.328359

This map illustrates both the reported building damage as well as estimated total rainfall accumulation for the coastal districts most affected by Cyclone Jokwe. The building damage numbers have been provided from the OCHA Situation Report No. 12 dated 11 March 2008. The rainfall estimate was derived from the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) precipitation dataset at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km for this region, and covers the dates from 6 to 11 March 2008. It is possible that precipitation levels may have been underestimated for local areas, and is not a substitute for ground station measurements. This rainfall estimate is a preliminary result & has not yet been validated in the field. Map Scale for A3 : 1:1,100,000; Projection : UTM, Zone 37 South; Datum : WGS 1984.

Yellow areas represent flood-affected areas as of 24 Feb. 2008, possibly covered with standing water, identified with a lower degree of confidence. Black areas represent standing flood waters and flood-affected areas as of 13 Feb. 2008. Additionally, blue areas represent the water levels before the flooding in November 2007. The rainfall estimate was derived from the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) precipitation dataset at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km for this region.

This map presents a chronological view of the estimated changes in flood water affected areas in Mopeia District, Zambezia Province from 4 to 20 January 2008. Flood water has been detected and measured using the MODIS Terra & Aqua satellite imagery. The spatial extent of flood water in Mopeia has been classified by date to help illustrate the dramatic increase in flood-affected areas from 322 km2 on 4 January 2008 to over 1,250 km2 on 20 January 2008. The map extent illustrates the area of greatest flood water expansion north of the Zambezi river, however there are smaller areas of rising flood water in Mopeia that are not visible within this map. All Estimates for flooded areas have been calculated in km2, represent approximate values only. This flood detection is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field.
