This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters over the affected Labutta Township (MMR017016), south-west of the capital Yangon, Myanmar on 5 May 2008. Standing flood waters were detected with MODIS Terra & Aqua satellite imagery acquired on 5 May 2008 at a spatial resolution of 250m. Villages within the flood zone were identified and tabulated for the township of Labutta. This flood detection and affected village assessment is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field.
