Method and provenance

Production method
UNOSAT mapped cumulative mudflow and rockflow extent from PlanetScope imagery acquired 26 August and Sentinel-2 imagery acquired 27 August 2026, then assessed potentially affected roads and buildings against the mapped area.
Provenance
Produced by UNOSAT under code FL20260826NPL and published through HDX. The current File Geodatabase asset is byte-identical to the archive exposed by three related UNOSAT records and contains the complete multi-product event geodatabase.
Validation
Not Validated
Uncertainty
UNOSAT identifies the analysis as preliminary and not field validated. Interpretation depends on source-image characteristics, and exposure indicates intersection with or proximity to mapped affected areas rather than confirmed damage.
Limitations
The assessment covers approximately 350 km² and is not a field-verified inventory. Minor structural damage may not be visible in imagery.
