The dashboard presents aggregated population exposure to flooding at Province, District and Subdistrict level. The Flood Extent shown in the map is produced by Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), Thailand using Cosmos-Skymed satellite image over multiple day period. UNOSAT performed automated population exposure analysis using the flood extent from GISTDA and gridded population data provided by WorldPop.

- UNOSAT Rapid Mapping Service: Operational since 2003, UNOSAT Rapid Mapping provides satellite image analysis during humanitarian emergencies, both natural disasters and conflict-situations. With a 24/7 year round availability to process requests, a team of experience analysts ensure timely delivery of satellite imagery derived maps, reports and data ready for direct inclusion in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) according to needs. Typical situations for which UNOSAT Rapid Mapping is activated include floods, earthquakes, storms, landslides, volcanoes, oil spills, chemical waste, refugee and Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camp mapping, conflict damage assessment and situation analysis. UNOSAT benefits from a variety of sources for its satellite imagery: Free and open source, commercial vendors, International Charter Space and Major Disasters (natural and technological disasters only), in-kind donations.
