Description
The European service "Copernicus EMS - Mapping" and more specifically the "Risk and Recovery Mapping (RRM)" part addresses the needs of entities involved with the management of natural disasters and humanitarian crises, through providing timely and accurate geospatial data, which are produced using satellite imagery. Existing geospatial data and / or field data are also integrated. The resulting information is delivered in the form of printable maps and / or GIS files (vector - raster) for further analysis.
The RRM products refere to the support of measures / activities, which are linked to prevention, preparedness, risk reduction and mitigation and rehabilitation. The products are distinguished in three general categories: (a) Reference Maps (b) Pre-disaster & (c) Post-disaster Situation Maps.
