CEOS WGCapD & WGDisasters Distance Education Course

Remote Sensing Technology for Disaster Management

The CEOS Working Groups on Capacity Building & Data Democracy (WGCapD) and Disasters (WGDisasters) offered this course (April-May, 2015), which consisted of a comprehensive series of eight introductory webinars that addressed the use of remote sensing technology for Disaster Management.

Course Objectives:
  • Provide access to expertise from space agencies around the world.
  • Link participants to a global network of experts and policymakers.
  • Create awareness about international coordination bodies, such as CEOS, GEO, UNOOSA (United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs) and the International Charter for Space and Major Disasters.
  • Provide access to datasets and useful tools available from CEOS Members.
  • Help participants enhance their Disaster Management skills.
