This SpringerBrief provides a general overview of the role of
satellite applications for disaster mitigation, warning, planning,
recovery and response. It covers both the overall role and
perspective of the emergency management community as well as the
various space applications that support their work. Key insights
are provided as to how satellite telecommunications, remote
sensing, navigation systems, GIS, and the emerging domain of social
media are utilized in the context of emergency management needs and
requirements. These systems are now critical in addressing major
man-made and natural disasters. International policy and treaties
are covered along with various case studies from around the world.
These case studies indicate vital lessons that have been learned
about how to use space systems more effectively in addressing the
so-called "Disaster Cycle." This book is appropriate for practicing
emergency managers, Emergency Management (EM) courses, as well as
for those involved in various space applications and developing new
satellite technologies.
