1 Rapid Mapping Services and Applications for Emergency Response Gunter Schreier, Günter Strunz German Aerospace Center (DLR)

2 Increasing demand for EO based information Increasing demand for timely information in case of Natural and environmental disasters Humanitarian relief activities Threats to civil security Satellites can provide information for Risk analysis, preparedness, prevention and early warning Emergency response and rapid assessment of the situation Recovery and reconstruction

3 International Charter on Space and Major Disasters International agreement among Space Agencies to support with space-based data and information relief efforts in the event of emergencies caused by major disasters Space Agencies contribute satellite data Multi-satellite data acquisition planning Fast data turn-around priority acquisition Archive retrievals and spacecraft tasking Data processing at pre-determined level Members: ESA, CNES, CSA, CONAE, USGS, NOAA, CNSA, JAXA, ISRO, BNSC/DMC Charter responded to over 150 disasters since 2002 In 2008 already responded to 14 disasters including Myanmar Cyclone, China earthquake, flooding in Africa, North & South America oil spills landslides severe storms earthquakes fires floods
