The Copernicus Emergency Management Service is part of the Copernicus Programme, an EU Programme aimed at developing European information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in-situ (non-space) data. The other areas of the programme cover Land Monitoring, Marine Environment Monitoring, Atmosphere Monitoring, Climate Change and Security. The first Copernicus service to become operational in April 2012, the Emergency Management Service provides up-to-date and accurate geographic and spatial data from satellites, in-situ and other open data sources for all those involved in the management of natural disasters and other emergency and crisis situations.
Enterprise and Industry
What is the Emergency Management Service?The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS)
includes the EMS Mapping Service and the European
Flood Awareness System (EFAS), providing products
that enable users to monitor the environment, security
and the impact of natural disasters in Europe and
beyond. EFAS’ unique early forecasting products, which
can forecast floods in Europe more than 3 days in
advance, help to prevent the loss of lives and property
and damage to the environment.
EMS Mapping ServiceThe EMS Mapping Service provides reliable, verified
maps from satellite images to measure the impact
and respond to natural and man-made disasters.
The mapping service operates in two modes – rush
mode for emergencies that require an immediate
response and non-rush mode for emergency services
that do not require immediate action such as prevention
and disaster risk analysis and recovery activities.
The Service can be called upon for free for maps
to be generated and show the impact of natural or
Emergency Management Service
man-made disasters including
earthquakes, storms, humanitarian
crises (refugee camps), floods,
forest fires, industrial accidents and
windstorms. In rush mode, maps
are delivered as fast as possible,
typically within a few hours, after
the reception of satellite data.
In rush mode, the main products of the EMS
Mapping Service are:
Reference maps, which provide an overview of the
territory prior to the disaster;
Delineation maps, which provide an assessment; of
the event extent, such as burnt area after a forest fire,
flooded area and earthquake impact;
Grading maps, which provide an assessment of
the damage grade, showing the count of the number
of destroyed or damaged buildings in each cell of a
regular grid.
Who can use the EMS Mapping Service?There are three levels of users:
• Authorised Users – may activate the service directly.
Authorised Users are designated National Focal Points
Users can download maps and see the latest activations on the Emergency Management Service website: http://emergency.copernicus.eu/ Details of flood forecasts can be found on the EFAS European Commission’s Flood Portal: http://efas.eu
(NFPs) in EU Member States;
• Associated Users – these users may
trigger the service through Authorised
Users. They include local, regional and other
public entities, international governmental
organisations (e.g. UN agencies, the World
Bank) and national and international non-
governmental organisations;
• General Public Users – these users may not
trigger the service, but can access the service
products though the Copernicus Emergency
website.
The Copernicus data policy promotes the
access, use and sharing of Copernicus
information and data on a full, free and
open basis.
How can the EMS Mapping Service be accessed?
The Service can be activated by Authorised
Users by submitting a Service Request
Form. The procedure is managed by a
single 24/7/365 entry point, the Emergency
Response Centre of the Humanitarian Aid and
Civil Protection (ECHO) Directorate General
of the EC, staffed with highly trained duty
officers. The Service contractor in charge
of the map production also has resources
available on a 24/7/365 basis.
From April 2012 to February 2014, there
have been a total of 72 activations of the
Copernicus EMS for disaster events all over
the world. These have been triggered in
response to flood emergencies in Europe
(Germany, Spain and the UK) and Africa
(Mozambique) as well as fires, earthquakes,
tsunamis and also as a result of humanitarian
crises in the Central African Republic and
Syria/Jordan.
European Flood Awareness System The European Flood Awareness System
(EFAS) was developed to produce European
overviews on ongoing and forecasted floods
and was developed at the Joint Research
Centre of the European Commission in close
collaboration with the National hydrological
and meteorological services. EFAS represents
the first operational alert system for floods
and the hydrological network in Europe.
EFAS brings together information on river
floods and flood risk in Europe based on
on-going research as well as from public
information from EU Member States.
The early flood warning system, which is
complimentary to national and regional
systems, provides the national institutes and
the European Commission with information
on possible river flooding to occur within the
next 3 days.
What is the Added Value of the EMS?• It is the first time data have been collected
at a pan-European level;
• Service developed in response to
international Earth monitoring agreements;
• Provision of sustainable, long term data on
a 24/7/365 basis;
• Potential to integrate early warning system
into rush mode mapping to anticipate the
triggering of an activation for a potential
disaster (e.g. floods).

An earthquake with a magnitude 5.8 killed at least 16 people in northern Italy on 29/05/2012,damaging buildings and leaving 14,000 people homeless in the Emilia Romagna region northof Bologna, one of Italy most agriculturally and industrially productive areas. The epicentre ofthe earthquake, which struck at depth of 9.6 km (6 miles), was less than 30 km (19 miles)from Modena, not far from where the magnitude 6 earthquake struck on 20th May (Source:Glide Number).The core users of the map are Civil Protection authorities involved in operations in the field.The aim of the map production is to support the emergency response activities.

Starting from beginning of June, heavy rainfalls have caused flooding along rivers and lakes inGermany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, forcing authorities to issue disasterwarnings and reinforce defenses. Several people have already been killed, with water levelsexpected to continue rising.In Germany floods have been affecting several towns and villages in both Southern Bavaria andSaxony.This is a delineation map for the region of Torgau (Saxony) showing the situation as of 04/06/2013.The core users of the map are Civil Protection authorities involved in in-field operations.The potential additional users of the map are other Civil Protection authorities involved inoperations.The scope of the map production is planning and support to logistics.

The Syrian refugee population in Jordan seems to have increased compared to the end ofOctober: UNHCR adjusted the number of refugees to some 136,785 that have already beenassisted by humanitarian organizations.(Source: UNHCR Syrian Regional Refugee Response weekly update, 28th November 2012,http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/country.php?id=107).The German Federal Relief Agency (THW) supports efforts in setting up a refugee camp atZa'atri (Jordan) near the Syrian border.This reference map is foreseen to provide the THW team with adequate knowledge of theterritory, in order to plan the camp in cooperation with Jordan authorities.The core users of the map are Humanitarian Aid Operators. The scope of the mapproduction is planning and support to logistics.
Number of shelters/tents: 7,708 unitsNumber of people hosted in the refugee camp: more than 40,941 inhabitants(Source: UNHCR Syrian Regional Refugee Response weekly update, 28th November 2012,http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/country.php?id=107)

The core user of the map is the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW)International Division.The purpose of the requested mapping is to provide flood inundation and impact analysissupporting the TRIPLEX exercise. The exercise is based on fictive scenario reflecting thesituation after a hurricane (cat. 3), when sea raises and flesh floods from heavy rainfalls hitthe border region Nordland (part of Denmark) and Sydland (Schlewig-Holstein, Germany).The maps will be used by European Civil Protection team and United Nation DisasterAssessment Coordination team. The teams will use the maps in the On Site Operations andCoordination Center (OSOCC).
