Descripción

This report provides results on: (1) flood extent; (2) cropland area; (3) flooded crop; (4) cultivated land with rice (irrigated); (5) impacted rice by flood; and (6) exposure of the population to flooded cropland. The results are provided in the form of maps by administrative units and tabular with descriptive statistics for the various indicators mentioned above. With recent advances in geospatial and information technologies and updated land cover maps, crop-specific information adapted to national conditions with tailored field campaigns have the potential to better support response programs and agricultural development in the future.
