Emergency Activities:

Satellite tasking

Image analysis and map production

News monitoring to anticipate sat.

tasking

Procedures review and training

Maintenance of reference geodatabase

e-GEOS Emergency Mapping Service is the set of

– hardware and software resources

– human resources (25 engineers on shift)

– procedures

devoted to a rapid and effective response to emergency requests

exploiting Optical and SAR satellite information.

The Service is available 24/7/365

Key challenges for Emergency Response

• Quick access to available OpenGeoData for pre event

situation maps

– Catalogues and data harmonization is a key task

– Standard symbolysm and data structure

• OpenGeoData refinement and gap filling

– Well trained staff available on shift 24/7 is a key asset

• Quick access to crisis data for post event situation maps:

– COSMO-SkyMed: best revisit time and high suitability for flood

mapping and change detection

– Other satellite data: for selected types of disaster

– Open Data (including social data): complementing the crisis

mapping from remote sensed data

e-GEOS Geodata Toolkit

It is the proprietary solution that provides a simple single entry point to access

harmonized heterogeneous geospatial data resources with local or global

coverage to be further used in other applications.

e-GEOS Geodata Toolkit can be used to quickly retrieve over a specific AOI:

– base vector layers (OSM, Geonames, GADM, GAUL, Wikimapia, …)

• Such heterogeneous data are harmonized in the data model to be imemdiately ready to use

• Frequently changing sources (e.g. OSM) are regularly updated in the local copy

– satellite imagery (MODIS, Landsat, national orthomosaics)

• Accessed both as webservices and as physical raster files

– elevation data (SRTM90, ASTER, EUDEM)

– weather forecasts (OWM)

– other data that have a spatial component (CSK catalogue, Flickr,…)

e-GEOS Geodata Toolkit is fully open source (Postgres/PostGIS, Python, GDAL) and

it is designed to fit distributed access to resources (Master node + Slave

nodes).

Page 7 e-GEOS Proprietary

Very detailed Base maps can be generated in less than 30

minutes using Open Geodata only thanks to: - Single point access to all resources needed

- No time wasted in accessing different resources from

different entry points

- Availability of standard representation rules (symbolysm)

Access to vector and raster resources is managed

through a simple interface (Quantum, GIS plug in).

Once the AOI has been defined, the User can

download all the necessary data.

Vector data are all stored in a single database, that

can be further exported in ESRI format.

Triggering entity: e-GEOS Autoactivation e-GEOS has been proactively acquiring COSMO-SkyMed images befor and after the event,

genearting damage assessment maps provided to US Government.

e-GEOS has been regularly acquiring also optical data for optical-SAR combined analysis.

Event description:

On the afternoon of May 20, a large, violent tornado

touched down west of Newcastle, Oklahoma and

impacted the town of Moore, causing severe damage

to residential areas as well as Plaza Towers and

Briarwood Elementary schools. The Oklahoma Office

of the Chief Medical Examiner has confirmed several

fatalities, at least 200 people injured.

Activation – Oklahoma City Tornado
