Flood impact assessment in Sao Vicente, Cabo Verde (13-16 August 2025)

This dataset illustrates satellite-detected mudflow extent in Sao Vicente, Cabo Verde as observed from Pleiades very high-resolution satellite image. About 12 km² of land appears to be affected by the flood / mudflow extent. UNOSAT identified around 4200 affected buildings with around 12600 people potentially affected. In addition, approximately 80 km of roads with 5 bridges were affected.
