To continue efforts to make use of the opportunities made available by the space community, UN-SPIDER, NASRDA, NEMA and the Centre for Remote Sensing of Land Surfaces of the University of Bonn (ZFL) joined forces to carry out the UN-SPIDER/NASRDA/NEMA/ZFL National Virtual Expert Meeting on the use of Space-based Solutions for Disaster Risk Management and Emergency Responsein Nigeria. The virtual expert meeting focused on the use of space technologies to improve disaster risk reduction in Nigeria.
Experts and professionals engaged in disaster-risk management, preparedness, response and recovery efforts, including those with experience in the use of geographic information systems and satellite-based applications, Experts from national and regional institutions and organisations responsible for providing space-based technologies and solutions for risk and disaster management, Experts from regional and international organizations active in Nigeria in risk and disaster management, including disaster preparedness and early warning systems, Experts from the UN-SPIDER Network of Regional Support Offices, Experts targeting climate change mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage in Nigeria, Experts in universities and research centres engaged in disaster-risk management, preparedness and emergency and disaster response and space technology efforts.

This webinar will delve into the role of responsible AI for reducing the risks associated with natural and man-made disasters, spanning all stages of disaster management including monitoring, disaster preparedness, emergency response and post-disaster recovery/relief.
It will also provide an insight into the application of state-of-the-art AI, more specifically machine learning (ML) approaches on big data, to decipher relevant hazard patterns, facilitate decision-making and improve resilience, while preventing infrastructural damage, and saving lives in developing countries.
The Earth Observation Center (EOC) at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) consists of the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) and the Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF) and is the center of competence for earth observation in Germany. The EOC conducts research in the field of remote sensing in order to find solutions to global challenges, including the environment and climate, mobility and planning, prevention and management of natural catastrophes, and civil security.
Facebook Connectivity Lab in collaboration with the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Colombia University combines machine vision AI with satellite imagery and census information to create population density maps. With the integration of demographic information, specifically related to age and gender, these maps collectively provide information on both the location and the demographic of a population in a certain country. The population density maps cover the majority of countries around the world.
Facebook Connectivity Lab is a platform that aims to bring more of the world online through affordable internet access, improved connectivity in remote areas and more.

Natural lakes and man-made reservoirs are a part of Earth’s surface water. Freshwater lakes and reservoirs are used for drinking water, fishing, and recreational activities. Aside from the aesthetic and scenic value added by their presence, lakes support surrounding plant and aquatic ecosystems and wildlife. A variety of factors affect lakes and reservoirs, including climate variability and change, land use, and other watershed activities influencing surface runoff and groundwater.
Federal, state, regional, and local public and private organizations involved in water resources and ecosystem management, dam and hydropower operations, and waterfront recreation and development planning.

Having reliable and timely population distribution data can make a life or death difference for individuals facing crises or living in conflict-ridden regions. These data are also essential for development decision-making and planning and for monitoring progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the international community. We need to know where people are located, what conditions they are facing, what infrastructure is available, and what basic services they can access.
