The role of the Earth Observation industry in emergency situations and crisis response has significantly grown in recent years. Climate change brought forest fires, floods and other emergency states that have put Earth Observation and its data to the forefront. Data provided by the Earth Observation industry provides insights that allow emergency services to put their action plan in place appropriately and act timely. During this panel we will talk about Earth Observation data's role in emergency prevention, response and recovery mapping in the context of Copernicus Emergency Management Services and other emergency services.
Panelists:
Jens Danzeglocke, Space Administration & Earth Observation, German Aerospace Center (DLR)
Franck Ranera, Strategic Partner Development Manager, Serco
