The UDA wanted satellite pictures extending about 500m inland, of the tsunami damaged coastline, to identify the extent of damages and potential relocation lands.

The tsunami damaged and totally destroyed over 74,000 houses along Sri Lanka’s coast.

The high-resolution satellite pictures will be used for more precise damage assessments, reconstruction plans and risk analysis.
