WGISS 27Toulouse, France
Background In the WGISS 26 meeting WGISS members
presented interesting use cases for disaster management China had experience on supply of near Real Time
Data for Earthquake Response Ukraine uses Grid and Sensor Web Technologies for
Flood Management Thailand develops a Clearinghouse for Disaster
Management in SE Asia. UNOOSA found that these use cases are best practices
and can directly benefit UN and other users if working process model is well developed
The UN-SPIDER SpaceAID concept
Experiences
in China and Ukraine
02:28 pm, May 12, 2008Wenchuan, Sichuan, China
The epicenter of the earthquake, Wenchuan, is about 90 miles from Chengdu. The energy released is great than that of 500 atomic bombs. More than 85,000 people were confirmed dead, more than 20,000 still missing, and more than 4.7 million houses collapsed or heavily damaged.
Wenchuan earthquake case
At the very beginning of this event, many International Space Agencies showed their willingness to provide EO data assistance to China
WGISS played an important role in calling for such activities within a very short time
Over 1,500 image scenes supplied, less than 20% Charter

It is fast construction method!It is a very low-cost solution!It can overcome the CA problem
Rapid flood mapping from SAR satellite imagery Delivered within 24 h after data acquisition Satellite SAR instruments
ERS-2/SAR ENVISAT/ASAR RADARSAT-1/2
Ground validation Chinese territory on river

To date
ACTION WGISS-26-4: Lorant (organizer), Natalia, Guoqing, Pakorn and Chuang to identify and contact the Agencies/individuals with which WGISS projects can interact to provide services during disasters. Use Grid and Wenchuan Earthquake experiences and recommendations to outline a clear process.
(As a contribution to DI-06-09) In the CEOS-GEO remapping Workshop,
WGISS was assigned to have an action to support DI-06-09: Use of Satellites for Risk Management
13
DI-06-09_7: Use of Satellites for Risk Management
Analyze the response by WGISS members to supply near real-time data to the responding agency. Develop a working process model to integrate and make use of existing technologies within WGISS/CEOS. Implement a prototype to demonstrate use of these integrated technologies for the process model for the earthquake scenario.
CEOS Action Category: 2
Lead Agency: UNOOSA, GISTDA
Participating Agencies: NSAU, NRSCC
Constellation: N/A
Working Group: WGISS
POC: Lorant Czaran and Pakorn Apaphant
Deliverables: April 30, 2009 – Working Process to be developedJune 30, 2009 –Testing the modelSeptember 30, 2009 – Working Process defined at WGISS 28
November 2009 –Document and include in WGISS Report at the CEOS plenary
Proposed work plan for a Disaster management IG
Set up core team and volunteers Review new and past WGISS presentations
to identify and map all existing projects and prototypes of interest to the task
Attempt to organize these identified solutions in a complementary way, to ensure focused application with a view to sustainability
Match available services and applications with known user requirements, identify gaps
(continued) Develop recommendations as a group
based on identified issues and problems (see next slides)
Demonstrate the possibility of fast access to- and more automated processing of newly collected imagery during disasters, to concretely support the response phase
Build on existing efforts such as the ones presented, or the Caribbean or Namibia AIP initiatives, to extend their application
Start with a Test Facility

Expected TF first deliverables Refined Working Process model Mapping of all potential projects of
interest, and of required data sources WGISS Demo at upcoming CEOS
Plenary GEO task interaction Required data sources identified and
committed to participate Other?
Issues ASTER DEM availability, better resolution global DEM for
modeling Fast/easy access to base mid-resolution or SAR
reference images (Landsat, ASTER, Radarsat, TSX etc.) SAR data contributions? SAR images should be most
important for most disasters (earthquake, flood, storm) Open Access to imagery and data during serious
disasters, relaxed licensing terms Limited flexibility of existing mechanisms such as the
Charter Sample imagery availability for test facilities And more….
Questions to be resolved
How to indentify the major disaster events for response? How and when should the decision be taken? GLIDE?
How many disaster cases to follow every year in this stage? (one or two per-year, more….)
How to announce member agencies to contribute? (by teleconference, mail, or other?)
How fast is our target to respond? (day? week?) Who is the user of WDMTF testbed? (Affected country?
ISDR? UN?) Should WGISS contact the users directly? Which agency will donate the temporary operational
data storage, ftp space? How to organize the technical team to support the
development of WDMTF components? Data policy and copyright?
Recommendation to WGISS plenary
Interest Group? Encourage Agencies to support with
imagery the Test Facility effort phase
Support IG to identify means of operationalizing the developed Work Process for adequate response to future major disasters
