SpaceAid

What is SpaceAid?

SpaceAid is UN-SPIDER’s framework to facilitate fast and efficient access to space-based information for countries, international and regional organizations. This includes all types of information provided by earth observation satellites, communication satellites and global navigation satellite systems.

How can SpaceAid be triggered?

SpaceAid support can be accessed by the UN-SPIDER National Focal Points (NFP), UN-SPIDER Regional Support Offices (RSO) and UN organizations. UN-SPIDER is working on bringing in local partners as well. Authorized government agencies and major international and regional organizations will also have access to SpaceAid as procedures develop. Users can request the support through a hotline that can be accessed by telephone, e-mail or fax. A central coordination unit coordinates and follows-up on all requests. This framework is operational on a 24 hours a day/7 days a week basis in order to respond timely to a disaster.
