In October 2000, the Val d'Aosta region in Italy and the Valais region in Switzerland experienced severe floods due to intense rainfall, causing widespread damage. The first image covers the southwest part of Switzerland, showing flooded areas along the Rhone river. The second image depicts the Alps, Aosta Valley, and northwest Piemonte, with visible flooding along the Dora Baltea river. The third image illustrates the Maritime Alps and western Piemonte, highlighting flooded areas along the Po river near Torino. The fourth image is a multi-temporal view of the Aosta Valley, where blue indicates flooding. The fifth image, merging data from October and August 2000, shows flooded areas in the valley and fresh snow or soil moisture changes in the mountains. The last image zooms in on the area around Turin and the Po river, providing a detailed view of the flooding.
