Harnessing the evolution of earth observations and risk
Our global community now has less than a decade to reach the Targets laid out by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The EO community can play a pivotal role, but only if tangible solutions are implemented that translate data to informed decision-making and investment through improved understanding of disaster risk. This…
Geohazard risk monitoring and mitigation approaches: Increasing resilience of the Himalayan road network
Climate change is leading to a more extreme environment and increasing the recurrence rate of natural hazards, making infrastructures subject to actions to which they had not necessarily been designed for. Risk estimation and mitigation measures deriving from climate change are creating new concepts that are being incorporated into the different infrastructure departments policies, resulting…
Map your city’s future: A spatial data for resilience workshop
The cities of today face the challenge of protecting their populations from extreme weather and climate change effects. Many cities of the future will only be larger, denser, and more exposed to natural hazards. What can we do to protect them? To manage and reduce their vulnerability and increase their resilience? Resilient urban planning requires…
Access the past and foretell the future: Peering into the crystal ball of early action
From earth observations and weather forecasts to machine learning and predictive modeling, the science and technology of today enables people and organizations to collect decades of data and improve our understanding of future risks. Whether we are preparing to host displaced populations, anticipating destructive floods, alerting urban inhabitants to take action to protect themselves against…
International Charter of Major Disasters users training
The Charter is a worldwide collaboration among space agencies (currently 17) to makesatellite data available for the benefit of disaster management authoritiesduring the response phase of an emergency see (https://disasterscharter.org).
The Charter is unique in being able to mobilize space agencies around theworld and benefit from their expertise and satellites through a single accesspoint that…
