Japan’s National Intelligence Agency has been gathering information with reconnaissance satellites on heavy rain and flooding in Chiba Prefecture, where incidents have occurred intermittently since August.
The agency said it would release processed satellite images under its policy for publishing such material during major disasters.
Because of their file size, high-resolution images covering a wide area and intended to assist disaster-response personnel will be posted in stages on the Geospatial Information Center website. They will be available in GeoTIFF and JPEG formats.
