Preliminary Damage Assessment for the town of Labutta, Myanmar, based on analysis of SPOT-5 data acquired on 20 and 24 May 2008. Damaged industrial/warehouse buildings as well as boat terminal/docking facilities have been individually identified by site location. Additionally, approximate areas of likely severe damage / destruction have been classified on the map according to dominant building type: residential, mixed residential/commercial and industrial/commercial. These zones help to identify those areas with the highest proportion of damage, however areas outside those marked may also have been severely affected. This is an initial damage assessment and has not yet been validated in the field.
