The media work closely cooperate with the rescue services and humanitarian organizations, which actively circulate information in the event of an emergency.
To respond efficiently in an emergency and be able to inform the public of what is happening, quick and convenient access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential.
Using high-resolution satellite imagery, it is possible to obtain vital information required to prepare for emergencies, assess damage and manage clear-up operations.
EOSDA’s functionality enables the media to provide immediate information on the following:
-
Detection and monitoring of forest fires
-
Forecasting and assessment of landslides
-
Forecasting of tsunamis
-
Forecasting of extreme waves
-
Earthquake damage assessment
-
Assessment and monitoring of volcanic activity
