EENA 2018 - Mapping Emergencies & Disasters
0 likes150 views
Copernicus is the European Union's Earth observation program providing information services based on satellite and non-space data. The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) provides rapid mapping of crisis events like floods, fires, and earthquakes within hours or days. Between 2012-2017 EMS activated over 240 times for events. The E2MC project aims to improve Copernicus EMS response time by integrating social media and crowdsourced data to provide more timely and accurate geospatial information for emergency management.
