Purpose,Objectives and Scope

As Earth Observation satellite data have become increasingly available, in significant part due to launch of the EU Copernicus Programme, they have enabled regular monitoring of on-going natural phenomena. Dedicated EO-based products may provide not only information valuable for operational monitoring of crisis situations, but they can also be used for long-term risk assessment.

The proposed DRMKC Support Service activation will result in preparation of the analysis of potential uses of four information products that offer risk-related information resulting from combination of continuously available satellite-based data with other (terrestrial) sources of information.

The six weeks long study will focus on assessment of usefulness of four possible risk-assessment products that can be developed on the basis of the monitoring products that are currently under development in the Polish space sector. The resulting report will cover:

  • assessment of feasibility of products provision;
  • overview of products usefulness for: risk assessment; risk management(risk reduction) activities; other uses(including support for solidarity fund EUSF documentation) ; potential use beyond Poland(in particular in cooperation with RDH);
  • potential path for implementation of regular products provision and their use in Poland.

 

Tasks and Deliverables

Task 1 - Final Report on activities and results achieved.

The report will include a number of recommendations for future developments of the DRMKC Risk Data Hub.The study report (app. 30 pages) will be in English will include the results of the activities mentioned underneath:
  • the overview of potential products; assessment of feasibility of their development and regular provision; the overview of information they can provide and their limitations;
  • description of potential ways to use the products, in particular for risk assessment, planning of risk - reduction activities and as a support for national - level reporting of losses(potentially related to EUSF documentations);
  • assessment of feasibility for generation of similar products for other European countries and related limitations; potential for use of such products as an element of the Risk Data Hub;
  • (for some cases) identification of potential path for implementation, including: activities within the scope of the Government Centre for Security responsibility, and demonstration and pilot activities that could be realised as part of the Polish national space programme.
