Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 25 March 2021, shows the area north of Sydney, Australia, which remains affected by persistent flooding caused by what experts say was the heaviest rainfall episode in 100 years. The flooding, which began on 19 March, has forced the evacuation of some 35,000 people and caused extensive damage, with houses flooded, roads destroyed, and power lines cut. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping component was activated on 20 March (EMSR504) to monitor the floods in 12 areas of interest. When skies are clear, high-resolution open data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allow accurate delineation of the extent of flooding and damage assessment.
