Urban map of Cabinda in Angola at 1:15.000 scale, based on archived satellite imagery acquired 3 May 2004. The World Health Organisation (WHO) was supporting the Angolan government during the April 2005 Marburg outbreak and has requested help from the Respond consortium. DLR's "Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information" (ZKI) produced this map in the framework of the GMES Service Element of ESA. The images do not allow identification of the disease, but will enable WHO to better control and monitor the potential spreading of the virus in the village. The maps are also useful tools for orientation in the city since topographic maps are not available.
