The present map shows that neither affected areas nor damage has been detected in thearea of Taloqan, capital of Takhar province (AFGHANISTAN).The basic topographic features are derived from public datasets, refined by means of visualinterpretation of pre-event ESRI World Imagery.All satellite images have been radiometrically enhanced and orthocorrected with RPCapproach (using SRTM elevation data).The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 5 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 very high 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.

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 Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping Product Portfolio specifications.

A major earthquake hit Afghanistan, northern Pakistan and parts of India. The magnitude 7.5quake was centred in the province of Badakhshan in the Hindu Kush mountain range inAfghanistan's far north, and occurred at a depth of 196 km (121miles).Initial reports stated that at least 170 people have been killed and many were injured.Shockwaves were felt in New Delhi in northern India and across northern Pakistan, wherehundreds of people ran out of buildings.The mountainous nature of the most affected regions and poor infrastructures makeassessing the aftermath difficult.

Delivery formats are GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, GeoJPEG and vectors (shapefile and KML formats).Map products available in the Copernicus EMS Portal at the following URL:http://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/list-of-components/EMSR145All products are © of the European Union.
