The present map shows basic topographic features such as transportation, hydrology andsettlements in the area of Zomba (MALAWI).These basic topographic features are derived from public datasets, refined by means ofvisual interpretation of pre-event Landsat-8 image (acquired on 13/12/2014 07:41 UTC).The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 12 m CE90 or better, from nativepositional accuracy of the background satellite image.The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 85% or better, as it is based on visualinterpretation of recognizable items on medium resolution optical imagery. Shadowed areasare zones of lower interpretation accuracy due to the poorer image radiometry.Only the area enclosed by the Area of Interest has been analyzed.Map produced on 28/01/2015 by e-GEOS under contract 257219 with the EuropeanCommission.

The products elaborated in the framework of current mapping in rush mode activation arerealized to the best of our ability, within a very short time frame during a crisis, optimising theavailable data and information. All geographic information has limitations due to scale,resolution, date and interpretation of the original data sources. The products are compliantwith GIO-EMS RUSH Product Portfolio specifications.
Weeks of heavy rains have caused extensive flooding and left hundreds of thousands ofpeople homeless in Malawi.The floods have also caused extensive damage to crops, livestock and infrastructure.Republic of Malawi declared a State of Disaster in the 15 affected districts (out of a total of 28districts).The southern districts of Nsanje, Chikwawa, Phalombe and Zomba are the most affected.Some areas are inaccessible, impeding the conducting of assessments.
No restrictions on the publication of the mapping apply.Delivery formats are GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, GeoJPEG and vectors (shapefile and KML formats).
