Recent rains and melting snow caused the Saint John River in New
Brunswick to overflow its banks. Roads were closed and a number of
buildings flooded. On April 30, in response to this emergency, Public
Safety Canada activated the International Charter "Space and Major
Disasters" to ensure continued satellite surveillance of the flooding.
The flooded areas appear red and pale blue; submerged areas are shown
in red, while partially submerged vegetated areas are in light blue.
