UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal

Help Shape the Future of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal

The UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is your one-stop platform for resources on space-based disaster risk management. It provides:
•    Links and guidance on satellite data sources and applications
•    Recommended practices and step-by-step methodologies
•    Training materials and tutorials
•    Case studies and user stories from real-world applications
•    News and updates on UN-SPIDER activities, events, and global developments
Since its last major review in 2012, the Portal has evolved significantly. Now, we want to hear from you.
We invite you to take part in the 2025 evaluation of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal!
Complete the short survey (10–15 minutes) here:

This paper introduces the Recovery Project,which aims to identify indicators of post-disaster recoveryusing satellite imagery, internet-based statistics andadvanced field survey techniques. This paper reviews therecovery literature as a means of introducing the recoveryprocess and the considerations that must be made whenevaluating recovery. This is followed by an introduction tothe Recovery project and its two case study sites: 1. BanNam Khem, Thailand and 2. Muzaffarabad, Pakistan. Areview of the recovery process at Ban Nam Khem ispresented along with a diagram of potential indicatorsobtained from the literature research. The paperconcludes with a short discussion on how remote sensingmay be used to monitor some of these indicators.
