CE S Disaster Management Support Group CHAIR HELEN

CE S Disaster Management Support Group CHAIR, HELEN M. WOOD (NOAA)

CE S The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) includes : · 21 space agency Members operating satellite Earth observation systems (or having a significant contribution to such systems). · 20 Associates including international organizations, international research programmes, operational observing systems, and government agencies with significant ground systems CE S

Disaster Management Support Group Objective: To support natural and technological disaster management on a worldwide basis, by fostering improved utilization of existing and planned Earth observation satellite data

Approach · Work with emergency management users with broad geographical responsibilities · Formalize requirements definition · Assess current/planned capabilities · Expand user outreach · Provide support tools · Use lessons learned

Dimensions of Disaster Management To identify requirements, we need to map a multi-dimensional matrix: - Spatial requirements - Temporal requirements - Frequency of observations - For each disaster type - For each disaster phase - For each sensor type Building on the work of CEOS and disaster agencies
