UNOSAT Analysis & Mapping Support to Humanitarian Emergencies & Post Disaster Recovery
UNOSAT’s Humanitarian Rapid Mapping Service
• UNOSAT provides Satellite Imagery Analysis during Humanitarian Emergencies – Natural Disasters and Conflict-Situations (Maps, GIS-ready data, statistics and reports)
• As of today approximately 25% of humanitarian activations benefit from data delivered through the International Space Charter (Only for Major Natural Disasters). For the rest of activations UNOSAT relies on in-kind contributions as well as from imagery funds from donors and UN sister agencies.

Exploit Modern Technology Innovations
Support Global Development Agenda (SDG 2030)
Imagery to Impact!
• Acceptability of Earth observation based information for decision making? (Or Are the information decision ready?)
• Where to get the services? What to expect?
• Do we have enough capacity for utilizing space based resources in timely manner ? What needs to be done?
• Is there a common baseline data sharing mechanism/portal within the government departments or other organization?
• Mainstreaming capacity development & Institutional retention of knowledge.
