   Colleague Sang-Ho Yun at Earth Observatory of Singapore Remote Sensing Lab and his team made a Damage Proxy Map (DPM) from Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar image over the LA, California area acquired at 2 AM UTC 9 Jan. or 6 PM PT January 8, compared with previous radar images. The map covers the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, and early Lidia Fire. Below is detail of the Eaton Fire (JPL is at left edge). Full resolution GeoTIFF and KMZ available from EOS-RS website. https://eos-rs-products.earthobservatory.sg/EOS-RS_202501_USA_California_Wildfires/

     The full map is attached below, with the zooms on the Eaton Fire, Palisades Fire, and Lidia Fire, and covers area indicated by the white polygon. Damage is shown by colored pixels of 30m in size, where yellow to red indicates increasingly significant ground surface change before and after the event. Preliminary validation was conducted by EOS-RS. This map should be used as a guidance to identify damaged areas, and may be less reliable over vegetated or mountainous areas.
