SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Evolution of Cumulative Flood Impact Assessment (08 - 14 September Vs 15-21 September 2022):
• From 15 to 21 September 2022 approximately 17 million people remain potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas;
• Based on satellite observations between 08 to 14 September 2022 and compared with observations between 15 and 21 September 2022, the overall flood
waters extents appears to continue to decrease with approximately 600 km ² in Balochistan, ~Punjab 1,100 km² and ~5,000 km² in Sindh.
