Latvia is currently facing severe floods along the Daugava River, causing water levels to rise rapidly in nine municipalities of the Upper Daugava Region.
The floods pose a serious threat to surrounding communities, farms, and the environment. The extent of the floods can be appreciated in this Copernicus Sentinel-1A radar image captured on 1 April, showing the affected areas north of Daugavpils in western Latvia.
In response to this emergency situation, the Copernicus Emergency Management Service has been activated to support the local authorities in managing the situation. More details are available here.
