Satellite-Based Damage Assessment for Town of Myebon, Myebon Township
Summary of main findings: A total of 657 destroyed and
severely damaged buildings were identified within the village
of Myebon in Myebon Township, likely caused by arson attacks
occurring before 3 November 2012. All damages are spatially
concentrated within a well-defined zone of near total
destruction measuring 23.8 hectares (ha) in area, located on
the western side of town. There are no indications of building
damages outside of this zone. Following the probable arson
attacks, two campsites were erected for internally displaced
people (IDP) by the destruction of their homes. The first camp
site is composed of 165 tent shelters (approximately 256
square meters in area), located on building ruins within the
zone of destruction, and the second is composed of 35 similar
tent shelters located on an open field to the north, outside of
the destruction zone.
