English: Over the past few days, Myanmar has been affected by heavy monsoon rains and floods. These rainstorms have caused extensive damage in the south of the country, and 5 casualties have been reported, while close to 15,000 people have been evacuated to temporary shelters, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). In this data visualisation, based on radar data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-1A satellite on 8 October, the red tones show the flooded areas, revealing the extent of the floods in the city of Bago and its surroundings. On the same day, Bago township received its highest rainfall in 59 years, with 200 mm, according to Myanmar's Meteorological Department. 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 information covering the entire world through the Global Flood Awareness System), which supports forecasting and preparedness.
