WHY IT MATTERS
This initiative aims to protect lives and livelihoods, particularly in vulnerable communities, by making better use of space technologies across all levels of action.
What happened
The European Commission convened a cross-regional dialogue 'From Space to Grassroots: Strengthening Community Resilience to Natural Hazards through Space Technologies' on the occasion of the International Day for Disaster Risk Management.
The dialogue aimed to strengthen international cooperation to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to disasters using space technologies.
The outcome of the discussions resulted in a 'Compass on Space and Disaster Risk Management' document, emphasizing the need to translate data into actionable information.
