RAPID MAPPING RISK AND RECOVERY MAPPING
What are your needs?
Contact your Authorised User…
… or contact the ERCC
Are you anAUTHORISED
USER?
Is your request eligible?
An eligibility check will be performed before your activation is accepted. The event which triggered your request must meet the criteria in the following categories:● Scope: large-scale natural disasters or man-made accidents ● Impact: exceeding the capacity of the national or regional authorities
For Rapid Mapping activations: ● Urgency: requiring an imminent response
For delineation and grading maps requested at SL1, an early “best-effort” information product (First Available Map - FAM) is automatically provided
The Area of Interest can be submitted as a file (kml, shp) or as coordinates. The Map Coverage Planner tool available on the Copernicus EMS portal can be used to generate a KML file: http://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/tools-mapcoverageplanner
Reference Maps: Updated information on territory and assets
Delineation Maps: Assessment of the event’s geographic extent
Grading Maps: Assessment of the event’s impact
Reference Maps: Updated information on territory and assets
Pre-disaster situation maps: Information e.g. for preparation and contingency planning, vulnerability analysis
Post-disaster situation maps: Information e.g. for recovery and reconstruction activities, changes in vulnerability
After the delivery of all products, the user is requested to send an evaluation of the service via the Feedback Form. There are different forms for Rapid Mapping and Risk and Recovery Mapping, available at:
http://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/ems/quality-control-feedback
After the activation is authorised, the EMS contracted Service Provider starts the production process.
The user may be asked for clarifications, particularly during the product specification phase. The user is then kept regularly informed throughout the entire process by the contracted EMS Service Provider for Rapid Mapping, and by DG JRC for Risk & Recovery Mapping (direct contact via email and telephone).
● Each Member State, as well as countries participating in the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), has a nominated Authorised User (see Annex in General Terms).● EU Delegations should contact the EEAS SitRoom on [email protected] (with a copy to [email protected]).
● Users from international organisations and requestors outside the EU from countries not participating in the UCPM, should contact ERCC, which may be able to activate the EMS on their behalf:
[email protected] or +32-2-292-1112
For Risk and Recovery Mapping activations: ● Relevance to risk reduction and long-term development objectives
● Technical feasibility: e.g. the extent of area, the feasibility of satellite imagery acquisition, weather conditions● Sensitivity check: : e.g. in case the request could harm the security interests of the Union, its Member States or international partners.
Prior to making the request, reflect on the following:● WHAT type of information do you need? ● HOW will you use the EMS products? ● WHEN will you need the products? ● WHERE are your priority geographical areas located?
