The European Union's "Copernicus" satellite has today released images from space showing the extent of the massive flooding that has engulfed Albania due to heavy rainfall.

In addition to the images, the post below states that the floods affected several cities where the flooding included agricultural lands and caused damage to local infrastructure.

Full post:

Heavy rainfall in early January 2026 caused river overflows in parts of central and western Albania, causing flooding in low-lying areas and along major river corridors.

The event affected several cities, including Fier and Berat, where the high waters flooded agricultural lands and damaged local infrastructure.

The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) was activated (EMSR856) on 9 January 2026 to assess the extent of flooding. This data visualization, produced using the CEMS mapping product, shows the flooded areas as of 10 January 2026, with flooded areas represented in blue.

The information provided by CEMS is essential for disaster monitoring and mapping. More information about this activation is available here. / CNA
