This map presents an overview of 18 villages in the southern Aeyarwady division that have been assessed for building damages following Cyclone Nargis (3-4 May 2008). There are internet hyperlinks to each of the 18 separate damage maps at the bottom of the map. Damaged buildings have been identified with WorldView-1 satellite imagery acquired on 6, 8, 10, 23 & 27 May 2008 at a spatial resolution of 50cm. Pre-cyclone Quickbird imagery from 2005 was also used. This is an initial damage assessment & has not yet been validated in the field. Map Scale for A3: 1:400,000; Projection: UTM Zone 46 North - WGS 1984.
