SUPARCO releases satellite images of flood-affected areas

Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has released satellite images of flood-affected areas.

The image on the left, taken from the satellite, shows the scene before the floods, indicating that all the rivers are flowing within their respective limits.

The image on the right is after the floods, in which only water is visible.

Another image is from August 22, in which the rivers are flowing normally, while the second image is from August 24, in which the rivers have overflowed their banks.

In addition, SUPARCO has implemented the National Catastrophe Modeling (NatCat) project for the National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF), which provides probabilistic risk assessment tools for floods, droughts, heat waves, storms, tsunamis, landslides, and earthquakes.
