International Charter purpose International agreement among Space Agencies to support with space-based data and information relief efforts in major disasters. Disaster response Multi-satellite data acquisition planning • Fast data turn-around – priority acquisition Archive retrievals and spacecraft tasking Data processing at pre-determined level Space Agency contribution in image/data Space Agency initiative for value-added-data fusion

Charter History (1/2) Following the UNISPACE III conference held in Vienna, Austria, ESA and CNES initiated the International Charter in 1999. CSA signed the Charter on October 2000. Charter implementation by identifying and creating a number of functional units and preparing the necessary policy and plan. Charter declared operational as of November 2000 after formal rehearsals and qualification tests. First activation of the Charter: Slovenian landslide November 2000. 322 disasters covered to date in almost 100 countries around the world.

Charter History (2/2) NOAA and ISRO became members in September 2001. In July 2003, the CONAE joined the Charter. In 2005, the JAXA, USGS, DMC joined the Charter. CNSA joined the Charter in May 2007. DLR and KARI joined the Charter in 2011. INPE and ROSCOSMOS are currently in the process of completing the integration.

Activating the Charter The only bodies authorized to request the services of the Charter are the Authorized Users. An AU is a civil protection, rescue, defense or security body from the country of a Charter member. AUs comprise a pre-defined list of 40+ user organisations, corresponding to 39 countries. Countries with Authorized Users No Yes

Mechanisms to Activate the Charter There are several mechanisms for a user organisation to submit a request to activate the Charter: Direct activation: the only bodies authorised to submit requests for a disaster occurring in their country are the AU. Activation via an AU on behalf of a user from a non-member country ('sponsor AU'): an AU may request the Charter to assist a disaster management user from another country in response to a major emergency. Activation via the UN for UN users: UN OOSA and UNITAR/UNOSAT may submit requests on behalf of users from the United Nations. Activation for Asia Pacific users via Sentinel Asia's partner, the Asian Disaster Reduction Centre: SA is a regional initiative to support disaster management by applying WEB-GIS and space based technology in 31 Asia Pacific countries. The Charter granted the Asian Disaster Reduction Centre the right to submit activation requests on behalf of national users of SA in 2009.
