News and Events

UN-SPIDER aims to bridge the gap between the various communities involved in using space-based information for disaster risk management and emergency response. These communities include satellite technology providers, experts in remote sensing, satellite navigation and satellite communication experts, disaster risk specialists, policy makers, disaster responders and academia. In doing so, UN-SPIDER regularly compiles and makes available news and events from these different communities.
