Uses of Satellites in Disaster Management
The uses of satellites in disaster management are becoming more integral to reducing reactiontime and providing accurate information to rescue and disaster control operations. Satellites areused in disasters for communications, remote sensing and mapping. Meteorological and stormwarning satellite technology can help with predicting disasters and setting up precautionaryactivities. U.S. Landsat Earth-observation satellites collect data in conjunction with NASA andthe Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to forecast weather-relateddisasters, manage floods, monitor large fires and determine which areas are at risk for landslides.They can analyze climate changes and map areas for relief operations with the data collectedfrom the satellites.Satellite communications are increasingly used to transmit information back and forth in remoteareas that do not receive cell phone reception. Government agencies and relief organizations canreceive up-to-the-minute reports to send help where it's needed most. In disasters that destroylocal infrastructure, satellite communications are the only option for getting information outquickly. Satellite phones are easy to carry and make good portable communications devices.Mobile satellite terminals can easily be set up in disaster zones to facilitate good coverage. TheInternational Telecommunications Union is a division of the United Nations that makes satellitetechnology available to countries that experience mass disasters and need immediate linksset upat the disaster sites.High-speed Internet access can be switched to satellites in the event of a disaster. Many businesses are incorporating back-up systems that would rely on satellites in the event of a major disaster. First responders can reactto communications sent out by a firm that is hooked up tosatellite Internet sources. Emergency crews can utilize satellite Internet options when their communications systems are down as a result of a major catastrophe if they are prepared. Real-time audio and visual capabilities can help relief crews locate and respond to emergencies withthe proper equipment and resources. Local and state emergency operations should incorporate a back-up satellite program for disasters. As a free public service, the Satellite IndustryAssociation provides public safety and first responder organizations with a guide to usingsatellite technology in disasters, the equipment needed to set up solid satellite Internet solutionsand training in the language and use of the latest equipments
