The satellite’s observations were compared with previous data dated April 7, 2021 and April 6, 2022 to identify areas likely to be damaged by earthquakes. Looking at the photos, Turkey’s Islahiye, Kahramanmaraş and Nurdagi areas are found to be severely damaged.
Red pixels on the map indicate heavily damaged areas. Orange and yellow pixels represent moderately and partially damaged areas, respectively. Each pixel is about 30 meters in size.
According to NASA’s statement, the damage representation map provides critical information for disaster response efforts. This allows authorities and aid organizations to put things in order and use resources more effectively.
