Societal Benefits of Remote Sensing
• Remote sensing provides critical data about the Earth’s environment.
• NASA, in cooperation with other US government agencies, and international partners, constantly monitors the state of our planet’s atmosphere, oceans, and land. • This knowledge is freely shared so that all nations can benefit.
• Such knowledge may be used to help nations prepare for potential natural disasters as well as to recover from them after they occur.

NASA Participates in Two Response EnvironmentsRegulatory & Operational
• Regulatory– ITU-D Study Group 2 Question 22/2
• “Utilization of ICT for Disaster Management, Resources, and Active and Passive Space Based Sensing Systems As They Apply to Disaster and Emergency Relief Situations”
– Space Frequency Coordination Group (SFCG)• Intersessional Working Group on Disaster Management
– Increases Worldwide Awareness of Available Resources and of Need for Continued Regulatory Protection of Remote Sensing Bands
• Operational– Long History of Scientific Missions Focusing on Observation of
Critical Earth and Atmospheric Parameters– Extensive International Scientific Cooperation

• Equipment installed and training conducted for initial setup of SERVIR-East Africa node• Integrated system development underway for both regional centers• Continued advances in data acquisition:
-RCMRD & CATHALAC tasking requests of EO-1 satellite• Enhancement of visualization capabilities
- Beta version of the SERVIR Climate Mapper tool• Prototyping and development of new products/applications
- Flood potential product (using multiple NASA sensors and/adapting existing NASA models)
