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

Area of Interest - Overview
The present map shows the flood delineation in the area of Blantyre (MALAWI) . The basictopographic features are derived from public datasets, refined by means of visual interpretation of pre-event Landsat-8 image.Thematic layers, assessing the delineation of the event have been derived from post-event Sentinel-1A image.All satellite images have been radiometrically enhanced, orthocorrected with RPC approach (usingSRTM elevation data) and coregistered to the pre-event image.The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 12 m CE90 or better, from native positionalaccuracy of the background satellite image.The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 85% or better, based on previous experience inusing high-resolution SAR for flood extent delineation. Please be aware that the thematic accuracymight be lower in urban and forested areas due to known limitations of the analysis technique.Only the area enclosed by the Area of Interest has been analyzed.Map produced on 27/01/2015 by GAF AG under contract 257219 with the European Commission.
