were killed. The map shows the area of Aini Jamoat, Khuroson District, Khatlon Province, which was hit by a heavy mudflow on May 14, 2009. The mudflow affected about 6.000  people of which 300 
families have been displaced. An earlier mudflow on April 21, 2009 destroyed 66 houses and left 114 families without home.   This map shows a comparison of a pre-disaster SPOT-5 image taken on 
September 6, 2007 on the left and a corresponding post-disaster image from the same sensor taken on May 17th, 2009 on the right. The mud covered area was digitised from the post-disaster image and 
comprises 0.57 sqkm for the larger area on the east and 0.11 sqkm for the smaller area on the west.  The map also shows the location of a tent camp which was established for the 114 families who lost 
their homes during the first mudflow and a planned tent camp for the people who were affected by the mudflow on May 14, 2009.
