These services address a wide range of emergency situations such as floods, fires, landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and humanitarian crisis.

Floods
The flood service platform covers both the plain flood and the flash flood risk analysis. This platform provides services at European level.
The Plain Flood Risk Management service provides decision-making tools which include the mapping of past floods, potential flood damage maps and flood information service.
The Flash Flood service must be considered as a demonstrator service to be implemented within the framework of each local or national hydro-meteorological operator having specific responsibilities in a country, region or basin prone to flash floods.
More information is available on the flood-related section of the SAFER website.

Fires
The fire services include Fire Monitoring at Middle Resolution (FMM), Burnt Scar Mapping (BSM) and Global Fire Risk (GFR).
The Fire Monitoring at Middle Resolution (FMM) service provides hot spots as well as a rapid mapping of burnt areas.
The Burnt Scar Mapping (BSM) service provides burnt scars maps based on high resolution imagery fom space. These maps help users in analysing fire impacts, performing vegetation damage assessment and designing recovery plans.
The Global Fire Risk (GFR) service provides forecast of danger maps. This service is especially useful to support prevention activities, with special emphasis during the faire campaign, allowing the user to know the identification and evaluation of the risk area.

Landslides
Landslide services cover Landslide Inventory Mapping (LIM), Landslide Monitoring (LM), Rapid Landslide Mapping (RLSM) and Real-Time Shallow Landslide Forecasting (RSLF).
The Landslide Inventory Mapping (LIM) service reports on the spatial distribution of past landslides. It covers large areas (few thousands square kilometres).
The Landslide Monitoring (LM) service reports on the past ground movements of single large landslides affecting built-up areas with a high risk level.
The Rapid Landslide Mapping (RLSM) service offers rapid mapping capacities when a landslide has occured.
The Real-Time Shallow Landslide Forecasting (RSLF) service provides assessment maps consisting of a near real-time prediction of the occurrence of shallow landslides at large scale.
More information is available on the landslide-dedicated section of the SAFER website.

Earthquakes and Volcanoes
The earthquake monitoring and damage assessment service provides soil displacement maps for the prevention phase. During crisis phases, it also monitors co-seismic displacements and performs damage detection in urban areas.
The volcanoes-related service addresses risk management during the whole management crisis cycle (pre-crisis / crisis / post crisis).
More information is available in the earthquakes & volcanoes-dedicated section of the SAFER website.

Humanitarian Crisis
The service provides a rapid mapping capacity when crisis occur. It also supports preparatory activities through the collection and mapping of spatial and socio-economic data.
More information is available on the humanitarian crisis-dedicated page of the SAFER website.
