SAFER Project: key figures
EC/FP7 project – GMES program
3 years project (01.2009 – 12.2011)
53 partners from 16 countries: 29 private organisations (18 SME) 24 public organisations
Coordinated by Spot ImageService management board: Spot Infoterra, DLR, e-GEOS
Strong User Involvement: Civil Protection: e.g. DPC (I), BBK (D), DSC (F) Humanitarian Aid: e.g. UN World Food Program (WFP), UNOSAT, UNOOSA
Services and Applications For Emergency Response
SAFER project – European Commission FP7
Main Objectives:
Implement and validate a pre-operational version of the GMES Emergency Response Service
First priorityfocusing on rapid mapping during the crisis phaseenrich this service with a wider set of thematic productsextend the service to the prevention and post-crisis phases
Long termGMES Emergency Response Service will provide an operational capacity in Europe and worldwide
Splinter session 1.a: Key European topics for the 2012-15 GEO Work Plan including the Societal Benefit Areas
From a SAFER / GMES Emergency Response perspective, the integration of the following topics into GEO workplan would be welcome Promotion at international level of the European capacity (= GMES ERS) in
terms of preparedness/vulnerability mapping, emergency response mapping and post-disaster analysis)
Foster collaboration between emergency response international mechanisms (GMES ERS, International Charter, Sentinel Asia etc)
Ease the incorporation of international data into European systems (both EO and in-situ data)
Improve interoperability of geodata infrastructures (using INSPIRE directive as a basis)
Foster the use of interoperable early warning and alert systems (e.g. foster the development of CAP protocol implementation)
Improve « interoperability » of the users communities (emergency responders) in terms of users requirements, users governance/policy
SAFER presentation - UNSPIDER conference - October 2010
Splinter session 2.c : Practical ways to contribute to the GEOSS Data Core
Licensing constraints as per EC FP7 rules (including EC-ESA grant agreement for the provision of EO data) + specific SAFER T&C
Derivative products (= map sheets) are available through SAFER gateway (WMS) for SAFER registered users
Proposal: open access to SAFER WMS to a wider community of users such a the scientific community (e.g. IPCC activities related to vulnerability analysis – refer to GEO-IPCC workshop / Geneva Feb 2011)
Remark: GEO should also envisage to strengthen the link with the open community (e.g. OpenStreetMap and other crowd-sourcing initiatives)
