1 Preliminary Analysis of Vientiane Capital City & Nam Ngum Dam, LAO PDR, using radar satellite data acquired on 22 and 26 August August 2018

2 SUMMARY UNITAR UNOSAT has performed a rapid satellite based flood extraction to illustrate the situation in Vientiane Capital City for the following AOIs. Figure 1: Main AOI focused on Vientiane Capital City and above it, the power reservoir basin (Nam Ngum Dam). Figure 2: Subsets within the main AOI, focused on potential floods along the Nam Ngum River and the Mekong River. 2

3 Overview, Vientiane Capital City & Nam Ngum Dam (LAO PDR) - Situation as of 26 August 2018 Legend Flood extent as of 22 August 2018 Vientiane Nam Ngum Dam Xaisomboon Flood extent as of 26 August 2018 Dam Settlement AOI Province District Bolikhamxai This overview illustrates the Sentinel- 1 detected water situation as of 22 and 26 of August AOI 1 There are probably floods affecting the settlements from this region. Vientiane Capital AOI 2 There are not perceptible changes observed in the vicinity of the power reservoir basin and the Nam Ngum Dam. Figure 3: Water conditions as of 22 and 26 of August 2018, across the main AOI, permanent waters not included. 3

11 AOI 2 on Vientiane Capital City, along Megonk River (LAO PDR) - Situation as of 26 August 2018 AOI 2 AOI 1 Figure 15: AOI 2, Satellite detected water along the Nam Ngum River, from Senitnel-1 images acquired on 22 and 26 of August

12 MAIN OBSERVATIONS No major floods were observed in the power reservoir basin area north of Vientiane Capital City, According to the analysis from a Sentinel-1 image, some floods occurred when comparing images between the 22 and the 26 of August 2018 and potentially affecting the settlements along the Nam Ngum River, Along the Mekong River, there is not a major evolution between the 22 to the 26 August 2018, This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
