Many studies have shown a growing trend in terms of frequency and severity extreme events. As never before, having tools capable to monitor the amount rain that reaches Earth’s surface has become key point for identification areas potentially affected by floods. In order guarantee an almost global spatial coverage, NASA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) IMERG products proved be most appropriate source information precipitation retrievement satellite. This study is aimed at defining...
Among the major natural disasters that occurred in 2010, Haiti earthquake was a real turning point concerning availability, dissemination and licensing of huge quantity geospatial data. In few days several map products based on analysis remotely sensed data-sets were delivered to users. This demonstrated need for reliable methods validate increasing variety open source data remote sensing-derived crisis management, with aim correctly spatially reference interconnect these other global...
A protocol for assessing the quality of digital geospatial data is applied to samples volunteered geographic information (created by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team) and professional mappers (Copernicus EMS-rapid mapping). The application on pre-event shows that a large percentage them very similar in terms is, therefore, potentially interchangeable; post-event reveal more divergent behaviour. results gathered from comparative analysis look at temporal trends response volunteers...
This paper presents a methodology aimed at enabling local government personnel and decision makers to easily process satellite-derived precipitation data for the assessment of extreme hazard integrate them with geospatial reference datasets production timely meaningful flood risk information, considering also exposed infrastructure, population or assets. The relies on use Malawi Spatial Data Platform (MASDAP), GeoNode web platform management publication data, developed in framework Shire...
Being prepared for natural and complex emergencies is a top priority the UN World Food Programme (WFP). In order to efficiently provide adequate support, WFP has strong local presence, with more than 80 Country Offices (CO) around world. The Emergency Preparedness team, in strict cooperation leading academic institutions technology experts, develops innovative early warning systems rapid impact analysis tools products. An emergency response phase requires an extremely well-organized...
