Emergency Management

Based on Earth observation technologies coupled with GPS measurements and geophysical probing, DORIS intends to test an operational service for the detection, mapping, monitoring and forecasting of ground deformations caused by landslides and land subsidence.

EVOSS aims at implementing space-borne support to the observation of major volcanic hazards, in order to enhance the speed and quality of responses to major volcanic crises and offer backup monitoring capacity. The project covers the Eu territory (including overseas territories), Africa and the Caribbean.

GEO-PICTURES aims at complementing the GMES emergency response service by facilitating the addition of small-scale images and videos from the field, tagged to the large scale GMES emergency response maps at exact locations. By combining the global view of an emergency zone with in field observations and images, users will get a more comprehensive view of the state of play in a crisis area.

PanGeo intends to enable free and open access to geological hazard information for the 52 largest towns in Europe, encompassing some 13% of the EU's total urban population, thereby adding further value to the GMES Urban Atlas maps.
