Satellite detected water and landslide extents in Kinshasa Province

This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters and landslides in Kinshasa Province, Democratic Republic of The Congo, as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 28 December 2023, at 10:21 local time. Within the analysed area of 44,000 ha, approximately 3 ha of landslide scars are observed and about 460 ha of land appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data, the detected surface waters and the landslide scar extent, about 25,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to landslide and flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please provide ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).
