duly updated using pre-event imagery. Neighbourhoodslimits were
delineated based on Wikipedia and Google Maps. Area of Interest
provided by JRC.Inset maps: Administrative boundaries (GADM
2015).All data sources are complete and with no gaps.
Detailed mapping of three AOIs in Libya: Benghazi city,
Benghazí s Aerodrome (El Benina) and Al-Jawf, in the Al-Kufra
district.The core users of the map are the Foreign Policy
Instruments (FPI) of the European Commission andUnited Nations
Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat). The potential additional
users of the mapare other Humanitarian Aid Operators involved in
in-field operations.The scope of the map production is to generate
a general reference content of the pre-event situationand a damage
assessment after the violent conflict between parties in Libya. The
conflict started inMay-2014 and it is still ongoing.

The products elaborated in the framework of current mapping in
Risk and Recovery mode activationare realized to the best of our
ability, optimising the available data and information. All
geographicinformation has limitations due to scale, resolution,
date and interpretation of the original datasources. The products
are compliant with Copernicus EMS Risk and Recovery Product
Portfoliospecif ications.
The present map shows night lights in the AOIs # 01 Benghazi and
# 02 Aerodrome (Libya) at 700mresolution. Visible Infrared Imaging
Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument is able to measure light
emittedin populated places during the night over cloud free areas.
The use of this instrument enables themonitoring of cities, towns
and villages without power within the AOIs and allows comparing the
radianceresults between June 2012 and December 2016.Night Light
images are accompanied by basic topographic features such as
transportation andneighbourhoods. Some of these basic topographic
features are derived from public datasets, refined bymeans of
visual interpretation of pre-event image .Other specifically
required features have been produced from scratch by means of photo
interpretation ofpre-event image .All satellite images have been
pre-processed to convert the original HDF5 format into a GeoTiff.
Allsatellite images have been radiometrically enhanced and
georeferenced.The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is
750 m CE90, from native positional accuracy of thebackground
satellite image.The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is
80% or better, as it is based on visual interpretation
ofrecognizable items on very high resolution optical imagery.Only
the area enclosed by the Area of Interest has been analysed.
