Severe flooding has affected 18 out of Chad’s 23 provinces, after the heaviest rains in decades lashed the county in the past few days.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Severe flooding has affected 18 out of Chad’s 23 provinces, after the heaviest rains in decades lashed the county in the past few days. Chad’s government has declared a state of emergency to better cope with the consequences of the disastrous flooding, which has impacted more than one million people. The flooded areas near the city of Yao, in central Chad, are visible in this image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 22 October 2022. 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 forecasting and monitoring products covering the entire world (such as the Global Flood Awareness System) which are key when it comes to supporting preparedness and emergency response in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
