GEOSS AIP-2 Overview
• Societal Benefit Area Scenarios
– Disaster Response
– Climate Change and Biodiversity
– Renewable Energy
– Air Quality and Health
• Transverse Technology Areas
– Clearinghouse - Catalogue - Registry - Metadata
– Access Services
– Workflow and Alerts
– Portals and Application Clients
– Test Facility
DM Background (1/2)
• GEO Workplan includes task to address “Use of satellites for risk
management”: DI-06-09; DI-06-09 addresses all four phases of
disaster management: mitigation, warning, response and
recovery and examines user requirements and system
architecture for a global multi-hazard approach, including
developing pilots to demonstrate usefulness
• UN-SPIDER recognizes the critical importance of compiling user
requirements, and can serve as a bridge between space and
disaster management communities
• UN-SPIDER workshop in Barbados in July 2008 served as
catalyst to define “Caribbean Pilot” to focus attention on how EO
can better support disaster management in the Caribbean
• Flooding identified as best place by Caribbean users
• AIP Call for Participation identified as best vehicle to frame
proposal and move pilot forward
DM Background (2/2)
Participation in this Pilot anticipates
• Refinement and augmentation of the GEOSS Common
Infrastructure including GEO Web Portal, Clearinghouse and
Registries solutions (available for Pilot)
• Registration of components and services hosted by the
participating organization in the GEOSS Registry to support
access by the Clearinghouse and Portal, and that to support
demonstration of a set of user scenarios.
• Participation in the development of a set of user scenarios that
support the GEO Societal Benefit Areas.
• Participation in the refinement of the initial architecture based
upon the pilot activities.

Flood Pilot Objectives
• To provide information on which flooding relevant data
and models are already available for the Caribbean
region
• To produce a one year flooding composite image from
various satellites, and
• To make relevant data and services accessible via the
GEO Portal

Flood Pilot Inputs
• Satellite data:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
MODIS
ASTER
Landsat
AMSR-E
TRMM
RADARSAT
ALOS
ALI and Hyperion (EO-1)
ENVISAT
• Other data sets:
–
–
–
Socio-economic data (administrative boundaries, populations, cadastral data,
transportation networks, energy infrastructure)
Land cover, DEMs, catchment boundaries
Historical precipitation data and forecast precipitation data
Outputs
•
Services and virtual infrastructure to support services:
– Geospatially enabled campaign manager: visualization of
available data products over given geographic area; automatic
tasking of satellites and automated data retrieval mechanisms
– Flood products: UM global flood potential product from TRMM
data and DFO Satellite-based Flood Detection and Flood Risk
Assessment to be adapted to regional context. Other flood
products based on MODIS, ALOS, ENVISAT, EO-1 and
RADARSAT data
– Decision support tools: software marrying input from satellites
and socio-economic data sets
– Train the trainer modules: dedicated capacity building tools to
support training in Caribbean region
Outcomes
• Decision makers: better enabled to take critical
decisions in context of flood planning and response
• Regional civil protection agencies: better able to face
flooding, find information and increase awareness of
flood impacts
• The public: more aware of flood impact during and after
events
• Data suppliers: increased awareness of gaps in data
supply and need for support during mitigation and
warning phases, rather than only during response
Capacity Building
• Capacity building is central to the success of the pilot
• Pilot plans to link technical personnel from end-user
organizations with those knowledgeable with regard to
satellite resources and their tasking
• In-person training sessions with willing end users
planned
• Virtual capacity building to be developed through “train
the trainer” modules that make up part of pilot’s
outputs
Relevance
• Pilot will raise awareness of usefulness of satellite EO
in area strongly affected by disasters
• Flooding is most serious and common disaster both in
Caribbean and on global basis
• Caribbean offers “smaller” scale to work out technical
issues and strong willingness of user community to
collaborate
• Pilot expected to showcase need for increase data
with regard to mitigation and warning phases
• Limited commitment in pilot context should encourage
stronger participation from space agencies and other
suppliers
User Requirements
• Establish user requirements (for each disaster type
and phase):
– Identify region of interest (priority areas)
– Identify target characteristics (what do we want to
see?)
– Identify temporal revisit period
– Establish timeliness/latency requirements
– Identify end use for data by intermediate user
(application, service, etc)
Architecture Options
• Establish architecture requirements (for each disaster
type and phase):
– What type of satellite data? (SAR, optical,
altimetry, etc)
– Number of satellites and coverage mode?
– Ground segment
– Application
• Roll-up across all disaster types to establish overall
requirements of virtual constellation
• Simulate architecture options

Disaster Response
This image from September 8, 2008 was provided by the U.S. Navy. Homes seen in Port De Paix, Haiti remain flooded after four storms in one
month devastated the area and killed 800+ people. The amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge was diverted from the scheduled Continuing
Promise 2008 humanitarian assistance deployment in the western Caribbean to conduct hurricane relief operations in Haiti. (Getty Images)
Disaster Response

Results to date
• Consensus on methodology to collect user
requirements for multi-hazard disaster management
for all phases
• Buy-in to process from large representative user
body (including civil defense, international
organizations)
• Commitment from space agencies to provide support
to modeling scenarios, and to work towards solution
in context of CEOS
• Negotiations underway with International Charter:
– Mechanisms for broadening of Authorized User
community (those that activate the Charter during
response) to include all GEO Member States
currently under discussion
– Advice sought on how to better access archived
data to support other phases (beyond response)
