4 Application Themes & Societal Benefit Areas Programmatic Focus on: Health & Air Quality Disasters Water Resources Wildfires Ecological Forecasting Support ad hoc opportunities in additional areas: Agriculture & Food Security Aviation Safety Climate & Weather Energy Socioeconomic Impacts

5 Operating NASA Earth Science Missions

6 Planned NASA Earth Science Missions

7 Airborne Observing Platforms

8 International Space Station Science NASA provides a unique perspective

9 NASA Disaster Response Program Disasters Applications area promotes the use of Earth observations to improve prediction of, preparation for, response to, and recovery from natural and technological disasters.

10 Disaster Program Rapid Assessment and Response Tiers of Disaster Assessment: Events/Year Tier 1: Events/Year Tier 2: 3-10 Events/Year Tier 3: 0-3 Events/Year

11 PUBLIC SAFETY SCENARIOS

12 CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING Thanks to: Cathleen Jones, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab

13 Critical Infrastructure Monitoring Sentinel-1 European Space Agency Synthetic Aperture Radar

14 Monitoring a High-rise European Space Agency TRE ALTIMIRA Technique: Processing multiple SAR images collected over time to detect small-scale movement (cm/yr to mm/yr) Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data ( ) / ESA SEOM INSARAP study / PPO.labs / Norut / NGU,CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO

15 UAVSAR: The NISAR Prototype Airborne Instrument Today NISAR Launch Dec Global coverage every 12 days

16 Subsidence & Levee Movement

17 Subsidence & Levee Movement Vertical Velocity

18 Aqueduct Subsidence Monitoring Avenal Hot Spot Previously had seen 13 max subsidence of the aqueduct in July March By June 2016 the same location showed 25 max subsidence of the aqueduct. 4.7 miles of the aqueduct subsided > 10. InSAR averages over an area of ~25 x25, so maximum at a point location is probably higher. DWR calculated that the aqueduct flow here is reduced by 20% from initial construction values, 8350 ft 3 /s ---> 6650 ft 3 /s.

19 DAMAGE AND INUNDATION MAPPING

20 Damage Proxy Mapping

21 Inundation Mapping ALOS-2 (12 m) Sentinel 1 (30 m) Sentinel 1 (30 m)

22 POWER OUTAGE ASSESSMENT

23 Power Outage Assessment Hurricane Matthew Yellow: Lights missing after damage from Sandy These data were provided to USGS, the U.S. Army Northern Command and FEMA to assist with their response efforts Post-Sandy: November 1, 2012

24 RISK EXPOSURE MAPPING Thanks to: Charles Huyck and Ron Eguchi, ImageCat, Inc.

25 Exposure Modeling Loss Modeling Risk Exposure Layers Adding Context and Aiding Decision-making Default Exposure Population EO Exposure EO data Developing Global Building Exposure for Disaster Forecasting, Mitigation and Response Landuse or urban zone classification Population Structural characteristics Building replacement values Decision Support Hazard Vulnerabilities Calculation Prob.
