The present map shows the flood delineation in the area of Zomba (MALAWI). The basictopographic features are derived from public datasets, refined by means of visualinterpretation of pre-event Landsat-8 image.Thematic layers, assessing the delineation of the event have been derived from post-eventRadarsat-2 image.All satellite images have been radiometrically enhanced, orthocorrected with RPC approach(using SRTM elevation data) and coregistered to the pre-event image.The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 12 m CE90 or better, from nativepositional accuracy of the background satellite image.The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 85% or better, based on previousexperience in using high-resolution SAR for flood extent delineation. Please be aware thatthe thematic accuracy might be lower in urban and forested areas due to known limitations ofthe analysis technique. Only the area enclosed by the Area of Interest has been analyzed.Map produced on 28/01/2015 by e-GEOS under contract 257219 with the EuropeanCommission.

The products elaborated in the framework of current mapping in rush mode activation arerealized to the best of our ability, within a very short time frame during a crisis, optimising theavailable data and information. All geographic information has limitations due to scale,resolution, date and interpretation of the original data sources. The products are compliantwith GIO-EMS RUSH Product Portfolio specifications.
Weeks of heavy rains have caused extensive flooding and left hundreds of thousands ofpeople homeless in Malawi.The floods have also caused extensive damage to crops, livestock and infrastructure.Republic of Malawi declared a State of Disaster in the 15 affected districts (out of a total of 28districts).The southern districts of Nsanje, Chikwawa, Phalombe and Zomba are the most affected.Some areas are inaccessible, impeding the conducting of assessments.
No restrictions on the publication of the mapping apply.Delivery formats are GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, GeoJPEG and vectors (shapefile and KML formats).
