ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: UNOSAT provided emergency response maps to the humanitarian community with the support of the International Charter Space and Major Disasters in collaboration with several partners. This product is issued in support of the Early Recovery Cluster and to facilitate the work of the UN in the damage assessment and post disaster phase. UNOSAT, the World Bank (GFDRR) and the EC Joint Research Centre (JRC) have a standing collaboration engagement for the use of GIS and satellite analysis in support of damage assessment.

were identified as potentially directly affected by the flood waters, the majority of villages completely inundated or surrounded by flood waters without open land evacuation routes. Over 5,000 km of primary or secondary roads were likely submerged along with 400 km of railway tracks and 400 bridges. Please note that the numbers of affected locations presented in this map and associated table likely represent absolute minimum estimates for the area assessed; because of limitations in available settlement and transportation datasets it is certain that the numbers of affected villages, towns and affected infrastructure / transportation lines are significantly underestimated. This disaster analysis was ANALYSIS SUMMARY: This map presents a comprehensive overview of the conducted with satellite imagery provided through the maximum flood water extent across the affected International Space Charter as well as from ESA, NASA provinces in Pakistan as detected by a constellation of and USGS. satellite sensors throughout the course of this catastrophic disaster from 28 July to 7 September 2010. CALCULATING THE MAXIMUM FLOOD EXTENT Flood waters depicted on the map have been symbolized The estimated total surface area of all satellite-detected with two classes, the first and primary class (shown in flood waters during this event was 37,280km2 based on red), represents the maximum water extent across the cumulative analysis from 28 July to 16 September 2010. affected provinces, as identified with a very high degree This estimate includes both water classes shown in the of confidence; the second class (shown in orange), map and has been controlled for the normal, pre-crisis represents potential flood waters which were identified water extent of major rivers, lakes and reservoir water with a moderate to low degree of confidence. Inset bodies using the best available hydrological datasets. satellite images over selected locations across the Because of the limited duration of the reported flash affected region provide detailed examples of the type of floods in the northern provinces of Pakistan (especially damages and other flood related issues that will need to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), as well as limitations of the be addressed during the early recovery and satellite sensors used for this analysis, it is likely that the reconstruction phases. Further, a spatial analysis total extent of flood waters have been underestimated conducted with satellite-derived flood data provided a by potentially upwards of several hundred square preliminary estimate of the potential number of villages, kilometres. Nevertheless, the total impact of this I ! towns, infrastructure sites as well as the length of roads probable underestimation is essentially negligible when and railway tracks directly affected by the flooding. calculating the overall accuracy and completeness of the These results have been quantified by administrative flood water area estimation for the whole of Pakistan. province (see included table). Across the whole of the Based on these results, it is estimated that approximately flood affected region, it has been estimated that over 4.5% of the surface area of Pakistan was directly flooded 7,490 villages, 135 towns/cities and 190 health facilities during the course of this event.

Town of Ghaupur severely damaged by flooding from canal breach on 8-9 August, has remained submerged for over month.

Within the main flood water extent along the Indus there are thousands of small villages and towns that (as illustrated here in southern Sindh province) are either submerged under water or have become literal islands within the Indus.
