This map illustrates satellite detected flood water 
over the flood affected areas in Hue province, Vietnam (depicted in red). Flood water analysis was made using MODIS Terra & Aqua data recorded from 12-14 October 2007, however thick cloud cover 
has prevented a complete analysis. Additional pre-flood MODIS data from September 2007 (depicted in blue) was used in this analysis. This flood detection is a preliminary analysis & has not yet 
been validated in the field.

Residents in Colombia's Bolivar province near the Caribbean coast struggle with flooding that has left the population of Bocas de San Antonio living for six months with water inside their homes after the local river overflowed its banks. Flood waters have swept away livestock and crops, leaving local residents struggling in poverty and with little assistance from authorities. REUTERS/Jose Miguel Gomez (COLOMBIA)
