Discussion
To add value of the Project
how could it support a GEOSS task
DI-06-09: Use of Satellite
for Risk Management
Led by WMO and China
With Reference to a multi-hazard approach, define and
facilitate implementation of a virtual constellation for risk
management.
The task will include:
Development of dedicate software tools to be used
in short term, to facilitate the analysis of coverage for critical
coverage for critical observations and,
in medium term, to implement the user interface with the
operators for products ordering and retrieval, and to perform
data integration and reprocessing.
Origin of the task team
Use of Satellite for risk management
has been indicated as Task DI-06-09 in
GEO 2007-2009 Work Plan.
The medium term goal is to implement
the user interface with the operators for
products ordering and retrieval and to
perform data integration and
reprocessing.
 Coordination among agencies has established
such as Sentinel Asia and ASIAES
to make use of space related technologies for
disaster and risk management.
To develop a prototype to support the
medium goal of DI06-09
using existing tools in Sentinel Asia and ASIAES
developed by WGISS member agencies
Objectives
To make use of technologies and tools
developed by WGISS/CEOS to support
GEOSS task DI 06-09
To prototype user interface for ordering
and retrieval of relevant data
integration service for better access of
satellite imageries of Natural disaster
risk areas in Asia.
Implement strategy
June 07 Sep 08 (1 year 3 months)
June 2007 September 2007
To coordinate with the DI 06-09 task
leaders (CSA and CNES), who shall
contribute for this task
To design a prototype
 October 2007 April 2008 (WGISS 24)
To develop a prototype to support task
requirement using tools available in
Sentinel Asia and ASIAES systems
To test capability of the prototype
April 2008-September 2008 (WGISS 25)
To document project summary and report
 Deliverables
User interface
For ordering and retrieval of relevant data
Data integration services.
Potential External Partnerships
Space Agencies in Asia Pacific
Relationship with WGISS Goal
NDM activities relate to access, archiving and
exchange of satellite images. The systems
will be also interconnected and interoperable
NDM will coordinate with CEOS and Non
CEOS members..
NDM will provide forums through
international coordination such as Sentinel
Asia, ASIAES project, and APAN network
