Satellite Data Reveals Severe Flooding in Mindanao After Typhoon Inday

Satellite maps from the Philippine Space Agency, using Sentinel-1 data, show heavy flooding in Cotabato and Bangsamoro areas after Typhoon Inday (Bavi) hit Mindanao.The maps, captured on July 10, highlight red zones for dense flooding, pink for rice fields, and brown for other crops.The most severe flooding is in the Cotabato-Bangsamoro corridor, with clusters in Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Sur.PhilSA noted that urban and vegetated areas might be underestimated due to radar complexities.Over 514,000 people were affected, with 17 deaths from landslides.The data aids disaster management efforts, though ground validation is needed.Agricultural areas like Lanao del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur also show widespread inundation, impacting rice production.The analysis supports the National Disaster Risk Reduction Council in prioritizing responses.
