Data Portal

 

The Connecte@sy portal offers access to products delivered by the PREVIEW and RISK-EOS projects. The goal of this common portal is to provide a unified access to the products in order to facilitate the information exchange and sharing between the service providers and the risk user community.

 

In complementary with the existing delivery means held by the service provider for specific users, the Connecte@sy portal proposes the following functionalities at a global level:

  • The consultation of the available products,
  • The on-line visualisation and combination of data,
  • The possibility to retrieve and visualise data in Google Earth.

 

More information available at Connecte@sy

 

 


Windstorm Services

 

Alerts of strong winds over Europe for 1-2 and 3-5 days ahead using a traffic light warning system, and with the facility to access more forecast detail.

 

More information at: PREVIEW

 

 


Fire Services

 

Fire Meteo Indices: The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) supports the services in charge of the protection of forests against fires in the EU countries and provides the European Commission services and the European Parliament with updated and reliable information on wildland fires in Europe.

More information at: PREVIEW and EFFIS 

 

Automatic Burn Scar Mapping: Daily provision of burnt area maps based on an Automatic and Autonomous system. The Automatic Burn Scar Mapping service provides during the summer fire season daily products regarding burn scars mapping at medium-resolution for burnt areas larger than 48ha.

 

More information at: RISK-EOS

 

Burn Scar Mapping: The Burn Scar Mapping service package is dedicated to provide, seasonally, after the summer and winter fire seasons, information products regarding burnt scar mapping at high-resolution (60 m accuracy).

 

More information at: RISK-EOS

 

Regional Fire Monitoring: Detection and Monitoring of active fires near real-time by MSG/SEVIRI data (updated every 15 minutes)

Floods services

 

Medium-range plain flood forecasting: The benefit of the European Flood Alert System (EFAS) is two-fold. First, EFAS should provide the European Commission with useful information for the preparation and management of aid during a flood crisis. Second, National Water Authorities should benefit from additional medium-range flood information that might contribute to increased preparedness in an upcoming flood event. EFAS is aimed at complementing national flood forecasting systems, not to replace them. The European Flood Alert System (EFAS) activity is at present in a development and testing phase at the European Commission Joint Research Centre.

 

More information at: PREVIEW and EFAS

 

Flood Information System (floodserver): The use of flood management and information systems shows the benefits of readily available information and the need for effective and efficient cooperation between the users. The floodserver supplies detailed information on the extent, impact and damage potential of past flood events. It is designed to provide extensive flood risk information for whole Europe quickly, reliable and easily accessible for everyone using detailed maps and information about past and potential future flood events. At present flood relevant information about the rivers Rhine, Elbe and Lower Weser is already available. For the river Severn a TerraSAR-X based flood extent map has recently been implemented into the floodserver.

 

More information at: PREVIEW

 

Northern Flood: Probability forecasts for exceeding the High Flood, i.e. flood with a return period 2-10 years.

 

More information at: PREVIEW

 

Flood Risk Analysis: Delivery of information products to support flood scenarii elaboration and flood prevention plans

 

More information at: RISK-EOS

 

Flash Flood Early Warning: Hourly mapping of excessive runoff and overflow risks on basin prone to flash floods

 

More information at: RISK-EOS

 

 


Geophysical Services

 

Geophysical portal: Web-based Metadata catalogue, containing metadata search engine, for geophysical cluster products and services.

 

Landslides: Web-GIS platform for monitoring of deep seated slow moving landslides, forecasting and early warning of shallow rapid slope movements.

 

Earthquakes & Volcanoes: Web-GIS platform for earthquakes & volcanoes monitoring and damage evaluation.

 

More information at: PREVIEW (landslides) or PREVIEW (Earthquakes & Volcanoes)

 

 


General Purpose Services


Space data: The purpose of this webserver developped is:

  • To describe the satellites and the sensors used in remote sensing
  • To list needs in terms of space data in the field of risks


Data server: The purpose of this webserver is to provide the scientific community with a space database acquired during the International Charter context with the objective to encourage and to allow this community to develop and validate new image processing methods in the area of Risk management (change detection domain, objects recognition etc...).

Man-made risks services

 

Dispersion forecasting of airborne hazardous substances: The integrated service contains dispersion forecasting models for airborne hazardous substances.

Humanitarian Aid Services

 

Humanitarian Aid Support Mapping: Respond project is concerned with meeting the real and urgent user needs for global humanitarian mapping. Respond delivers products to support all parts of the crisis cycle where geographic information is useful, including both slow-onset crises (e.g. famine) and fast-onset crises (e.g. river flooding, cyclone, tsunami, and earthquake). The products are aimed at the European and international humanitarian communities such as UN agencies (e.g. UNOCHA), European civil protection teams who operate outside Europe (e.g. THW, Germany), and NGOs (e.g. Red Cross).
