Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The record-breaking floods devastating Bangladesh since early June keep are strongly affecting the local population, as an estimated 7.2 million citizens are in need of shelter and emergency relief items and entire neighbourhoods have been cut off because of road disruptions and power cuts. This image, acquired on 25 June 2022 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows the surroundings of Sunamganj, a town in northeaster Bangladesh. According to the latest International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies press release, this is one of the worst-affected areas, with 98 per cent of the town submerged by torrential rain and upstream water. Copernicus data and services allow the monitoring of flooding events and the assessment of their consequences. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) delivers flood-related products covering the entire world (such as the Global Flood Awareness System) which are key when it comes to supporting the forecasting, preparedness and emergency response in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
