Reference maps generated from archived satellite data were provided a few hours after the disaster. Such maps helped relief organisations acquiring a better knowledge of the area where the disaster happened: geographical situation, population density, built areas, road infrastructures, specific infrastructures (e.g. airports), etc.
- Pre-Disaster Overview (SAFER)
- Population Density (SAFER)
- Reference Map (G-MOSAIC)
Several maps were also produced in order to inform relief organisations about the location of spontaneous gathering areas or visible water surface.
