It is significantly strengthening becoming the most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic and following a path predicted to hit Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba. Over the next five days, heavy rain, very strong winds and storm surge could affect all of these areas. The present map shows the flood delineation in the area of Higuey (Dominican Republic). The thematic layer has been derived from post-event satellite image using a semi-automatic approach. The estimated geometric accuracy is 40 m or better, from native positional accuracy of the background satellite image. Products elaborated in this Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping activity are realized to the best of our ability, within a very short time frame, optimising the available data and information. All geographic information has limitations due to scale, resolution, date and interpretation of the original sources. The map and the information content are derived from satellite data without validation with ground data. No liability concerning the contents or the use thereof is assumed by the producer and by the European Union. Please be aware that the thematic accuracy might be lower in urban and forested areas due to inherent limitations of the SAR analysis technique Map produced by e-GEOS released by e-GEOS (ODO).
