Description
English: October 2020 brought torrential rains to central Vietnam that have triggered floods and landslides. Many areas of the provinces of Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, and Da Nang were submerged as a result of these floods. According to media reports, local authorities have had to evacuate more than 46,000 residents from affected areas and at least 18 people have died as a consequence of the floods. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping component was activated on 7 October (EMSR469) to monitor the floods in 11 Area of Interest with delineation maps derived from Very High Resolution satellite data. This image, obtained by combining Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar satellite images that were acquired on 28 September and on 10 October 2020, shows the flooded zones around the city of Hue in red. Data obtained by the radar on board Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites allow us to monitor flooded zones when data acquired by optical satellites are not available due to cloud coverage.
