This dataset was last updated on LINZ Data Service on 23 Feb 2023.

This layer provides polygons of approximate flood areas derived from Sentinel-1 satellite radar imagery captured at various times on 14/02/2023 near the peak of the Cyclone Gabrielle event in the North Island of New Zealand. Areas of coverage include the Hauraki, Thames-Coromandel and Hastings Districts, and Napier City.

​This dataset was created by Toitū Te Whenua LINZ as part of its contribution to the emergency response, and is limited to areas that had a satellite pass over, and to the few areas of interest as we knew them at the time.

Accuracy
A subjective threshold was used to determine possible flood areas and eliminate false positives. Polygons in hilly areas or below a certain area size were excluded as likely false positives.

Please use this data as advisory only. The results have not been ground truthed and will contain errors and ommissions.
