Answer:
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 includes two articles with explicit references to satellite Earth observation and several articles that refer to topics for which satellite observations are needed (e.g., geospatial information or risk maps). This activity aims at improving disaster risk management and reduction by providing timely risk information relevant to the full cycle of disaster management (mitigation, preparedness, warning, response and recovery) and will be used directly by the end user community including the decision makers that have to take appropriate resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) measures. Through this activity, the delivery of risk information will be improved through the consolidation of the delivery process for the data (from EO providers) and information (from practitioners), for four Pilots – Floods, Seismic Hazards, Volcanoes, and Landslides. These Pilots, which were successfully started under the GEO 2012-2015 Work Plan and will continue through 2017, have produced several risk products and been used in the scope of the Geohazards Supersites Natural Laboratories (GSNL). This activity will further implement the current strategies to better contribute to all phases of DRM in response to the needs of the user community while also exploring the possibility of partnership with other DRM stakeholders, enlarging the concept of the Pilots (single and multi-hazard, limited geographical areas, etc.) and also considering other potential Pilots.
