Satellite communications help warn people who are at risk, especially in remote areas
They help connect a disaster zone to the outside world
Images from earth observing satellites help assess the damage caused by disasters like earthquakes, volcano eruptions, oil spills and floods.
Global navigation satellite systems enable us to obtain positional information on events that have to be mapped

• The United Nations General Assembly agreed to establish the “United Nations Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (UN-SPIDER)” as a programme within the United Nations to provide universal access to all types of space-based information and services relevant to disaster management by:
• being a gateway to space information for disaster management support;
• serving as a bridge to connect the disaster management and space communities; and
• being a facilitator of capacity-building and institutional
strengthening.

Offices - Regional and national
centres of expertise in the use of
space technology in disaster
management which agree to form a
network for implementing the activities
of the programme in their respective
regions in a coordinated manner.
These Regional Support Offices
should be leading national or regional
institutions with notable expertise in
the use of space technology for
disaster management.

• In March 2003 UNOOSA was accepted as a Cooperating Body to the Charter, a mechanism through which the UN system can access the Charter.
• Beginning 1 July 2003 UNOOSA set up a 24/7 hotline. UN Focal Points can fax in requests for imagery to support disaster response. This request is subsequently resent to the Charter. OOSA staff rotate having the brick.
• 43 UN activations ‘till today: 3 in 2003; 10 in 2004; 9 in 2005; 11 in 2006; and 9 so far in 2007.
• UN Charter List – 119 members from over 20 UN agencies and UN partners.
• Three UN-wide meetings (24 June 2003; 15 October 2004 and 20 March 2006).
• Common Vision -> defines how we work together
