SATELLITE ASSESSMENT CLASSIFICATION: Probable Flood Waters as on 22 July 2010 Crisis background satellite image: FORMOSAT-2 ..... ..... Possible flood water obstruction of road + This map illustrates probable standing flood waters along the eastern bank of the Prut River in the Cahul and Vulcanesti Districts of the Republic of Moldova, as well as the western bank of the river in Romania. This flood analysis is based on Formosat-2 satellite imagery recorded on 22 July 2010. Areas of potential / probable flooding within towns and road / bridge obstacles have been identified and marked in the overview and inset focus maps. Overall the flooding appears to be relatively contained along this southern section of the Prut River, with limited numbers of potentially flooded/flood-affected buildings, primarily in the Republic of Moldova. Transport routes appear to be moderately affected with a number of potential road flooding sites along both sides of the Prut. There is suspected bridge damage along an international border crossing west of the city of Cahul, Moldova. The two international bridges linking Romania with the Moldovan city of Giurgiulesti appear intact and fully operational. Please note that areas likely flooded with dense vegetation cover have been marked in the map with a lower level of confidence because of limitations in water detection with the satellite imagery. Pre-flood water has been taken from a European dataset derived from multiple sources and may not accurately reflect the current location Prut River channel in some locations in the map. This flood assessment is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR / UNOSAT.
