Satellite EO Capabilities for Each Phase of
Disaster Risk Reduction
Introduction
This section provides summary
descriptions of how EO satellite data support each
phase of DRR:
– Mitigation and
Preparedness;
– Detecting and tracking
hazards (both weather–related and
non–weather–related);
– Response;
– Recovery;
– Long-term
climate monitoring.
The pages describe
the capabilities that the satellite data bring and
the DRR functions that these capabilities support.
The relevant disaster types are described and some
important examples provided.
