The present map shows basic topographic features such as transportation, hydrology andsettlements in the area of Gangotri (Uttarakhand state, INDIA). These basic topographicfeatures are derived from public datasets, refined by means of visual interpretation of pre-event IKONOS Image (c) DigitalGlobe.The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 20m 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 areas are zones of lower interpretation accuracy due to the poorer imageradiometry.Map produced on 02/07/2013 by e-GEOS under contract 257219 with the EuropeanCommission.

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 GIO-EMS RUSH Product Portfolio specifications.
In June 2013, the North Indian state of Uttarakhand experienced heavy monsoon rainfall thattriggered devastating floods and landslides.The flood have killed at least 822 people in Uttarakhand and forced tens of thousands fromtheir homes, while thousands are still reported missing.Authorities have so far been focusing on rescuing thousands of pilgrims who visit the regionfor its sacred Hindu temples and shrines, but aid agencies, struggling to get past roadschoked by landslides to local villagers, warned of another disaster unfolding in form of anoutbreak of diseases.Heavy rains over the last days have hampered rescue operations by the army and air forcewho have been air lifting survivors marooned in and around the four temple towns ofKedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri since June 15th.The core users of the map are International development authorities (DFID) involved in in-field operations.
No restrictions on the publication of the mapping apply.Delivery formats are GeoTIFF, GeoPDF, GeoJPEG and vectors (shapefile and KML formats).
