Guatemala - Expert Mission (2011)

In recent years Guatemala has been impacted by disasters of various kinds including volcanic eruptions, floods and droughts. In November 2010, UN-SPIDER conducted a Technical Advisory Mission (TAM) to Guatemala at the request of the Planning and Programming Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic (SEGEPLAN). As a follow-up to the TAM, an expert mission was conducted in November 2011 to support the institutionalization of a technical group focusing on remote sensing applications for disaster risk reduction and emergency response.
