Nepal - Flood (EMSR927)

Completed catalogue assessment

Eligibility decision

Include · Included Resource

Assessment date

28 September 2026

Decision reason

All 20 original EMSR927 distributions match the HDX resource list and were retrieved from the native Copernicus service. Five product/version groups are represented in four formats each; they are not 20 independent assessments. Source map text gives optical sensor/acquisition and photo-interpretation metadata. The AOI05 URL says v1 while current map text says v3 dated 4 September; retain that discrepancy explicitly. Commercial image rights are separate from derived-product rights.

Themes

Emergency Mapping, Damage Grading, Buildings, Infrastructure, Earth Observation

Method and provenance

Production method

Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping grading products assess event effects on individual mapped features such as buildings and infrastructure using Earth-observation imagery. Products are organized by area of interest and mapping round.

Provenance

Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping activation EMSR927, cited by the provider as © 2026 European Union, and catalogued through HDX.

Validation

Unclear

Uncertainty

The HDX record does not state product-specific validation results. Interpretation depends on the source imagery, mapping round, and Copernicus grading definitions.

Limitations

Coverage is limited to the activation's defined areas of interest and released product rounds. Three map PDFs exceeded the bounded full-file inspection threshold, but their authoritative metadata and endpoints were reviewed. Metadata refresh RUN-20260905-010 (2026-09-05): EMSR927 AOI05 initial grading is listed as version 3, delivered 2026-09-04, with reason "Correction of observed event and not analysed". This version-1 asset remains a historical reference; replacement assets and scientific changes await the derived-product review.
