IMAGE AFTER THE DISASTER
Spain is suffering its worst flood in decades after the torrential rains that hit the eastern province of Valencia. The death toll is increasing and people are missing.
In response, the Copernicus Emergency Rapid Mapping Service has been activated to provide satellite imagery that can support rescue and recovery efforts.
According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), on October 29, 2024, Valencia received in just eight hours the amount of rain that usually falls in a year. This deluge caused devastating flooding, turning streets into rivers, destroying homes and washing away vehicles.
These images from the American Landsat-8 satellite vividly illustrate the magnitude of the disaster, with images from October 8 and 30 that show the dramatic transformation of the landscape.
