ABOUT RADIO SCIENCE CONTRIBUTION TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT| Session Chair: | Simonetta Paloscia |
When a disaster strikes, communication facilities can be totally destroyed. A critical early requirement is the setting up of emergency communication systems to support rescue teams and disseminate information and instructions to the survivors. Access to ground-based and space based observational data are facilitated by the international charter "Space and Major Disasters" signed by various space agencies. The session is concerned with research and technological developments which may help to improve prediction and monitoring of potential hazards, and which may be involved in the main phases of disaster (preparedness, response and recovery). More specifically, the session will focus on emergency communication, fast deployment of communication networks, disaster relief services, recent advances in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR, InSAR, DinSAR) and Ground Penetrating Radars.
