Imagery Including Satellite, Drones, Pictures and Videos

      • Explanation of the Facebook Imagery: Humanity Road Special Facebook Mapping Report Our Special Facebook Report contains imagery on population density changes for before and after the hurricane. The red indicators on the maps show the the difference between the population at the time of the crisis and the population estimated for non-crisis conditions (baseline). This means the red is showing a decline in population versus 3 months ago. It could be seasonal trends or evacuation patterns. The blue map is a measurement called “Crisis” The blue dots reflect the observed number of people during overall period of crisis, so in essence – The blue dot-maps are showing locations where population are accessing Facebook on the given date from that location.
