“Strawman” Outcomes for WGISS Discussion and Concurrence (1)

• Ready access to GA.4.Disasters team findings, reports• Clearly delineated scope addressing roles (either in or out of

scope) for components including – International Charter on Disasters– CEOS WGISS member data for disasters, for risk assessment– CEOS Supersites– Relevant portals (e.g., earthquake E-DECIDER)– SERVIR regional disaster data support capability– Relevant sensor web, GRID, web service infrastructure

• Clarify need and recommendations for a Disasters Portal

“Strawman” Outcomes for WGISS Discussion and Concurrence (2)

• Closer coordination between WGISS and Disasters SBA on DI-06-09 pilots– Caribbean Satellite and Disaster Pilot– Southern Africa Flood and Health Pilot (Namibia)

• WGISS-26 (Toulouse) suggestion: Demonstrate the possibility of fast access to, and more automated processing of newly collected imagery during disasters, to concretely support the response phase (web services)

• WGISS-29 (Bonn) UN-SPIDER needs assessment • Improvements to disaster/risk assessment products

development and delivery

“Strawman” Outcomes for WGISS Discussion and Concurrence (3)

• Clarify need and recommendations for a Disasters Portal1) Information on the types of disasters, including gap

assessments for each type2) Observational requirements for each disaster type /

phase 3) Access to disasters related informational products via

disaster types (floods, etc)4) Access to mission/instrument and in-situ data via search

capability specific to disasters5) Access to models
