English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 18 November 2021, shows flooded areas near the town of Forbes in the Australian state of New South Wales. The flooding had severe consequences for the inhabitants of Forbes, with more than 1,500 people needed to be evacuated from the town. Further, the rising waters, which reached a height of 10.52 metres, affected a variety of local businesses, forcing them to close their doors. The inundation was especially problematic for farmers, as the waters have likely spoiled what was expected to be a particularly strong harvest. As of 17 November at 20:43 UTC (07:43 local time), the Copernicus Emergency Management Service estimated that 809.9 ha had been flooded in the area – a 70% increase in a 24h period. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service can be activated to monitor the consequences of various types of natural disasters around the world using Earth Observation and remote sensing data. |
