The preliminary damage proxy map above shows parts of the cities of Turkoglu, Kahramanmaras, and Nurdagi. Dark red pixels represent areas likely to have severe damage to buildings, homes, and infrastructure or changes to the landscape, whereas orange and yellow areas are moderately or partially damaged. Each pixel measures about 30 meters across (about the size of a baseball infield).
