| Zusammenfassung |
| The International Charter "Space and Major Disasters" is about joint
operations and tasking of imaging satellites and other space resources of
the member space agencies and operators in the delivery of information
products to assist in responding to disasters of natural and technological
causes. Authorized Users, who are the civil protection, emergency response
or similar organizations of a state that is member of the Charter, can
request the data and products. A specialist, called the Project Manager
(PM), manages the overall data acquisition and delivery process. Regional
initiatives, as for the Latin American countries, are under way to involve
PMs from non-member states to have access to satellite data and apply these
to disaster coverage in their respective regions. Volcanic eruptions are
typical examples of disasters that affect the Latin American countries. A
few Charter activations on this disaster type are described to highlight the
information products provided under the Charter. |
