On January 12, 2011, heavy rainfall and flash floods hit the Serrana mountain region north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil triggering wide scale landslides and mudslides. Although the full extent of the disaster is not yet fully known, the reported death toll has risen to more than 800 people and is being considered the worst natural catastrophe in Brazil’s history. DigitalGlobe’s satellite constellation collected imagery over the worst hit towns of Nova Friburgo and neighboring Petropolis, revealing extensive damage to homes, businesses and critical infrastructure.
