2 November 26th, :30 UTC After heavy rain, rivers were overflowing. The Severn River was of particular concern. Gloucestershire received almost a whole month's rain in two days.

3 November 29th, :05 UTC Local that Civil activates Protection GIO Emergency authorities Service ask for satellite soon after based receiving support the request. to the UK Cabinet Office 3 days after ERCC

4 November 29th, :01 UTC Satellite Data are required to ESA and the Procurement and Production Plan is quickly provided to the User 1 hour later EMSR_022 Floods in UK Category Arc/New Satellite Sensor/Beam Start Sensing Status Reception date # of scenes VHR2 Arc SPOT5 Pansharpened 06/03/2012 Ordered 1 VHR2 New COSMO-SkyMed Himage 27/11/2012 Ordered 1 VHR2 New COSMO-SkyMed Himage 28/11/2012 Ordered 1

(Printed Maps and Full resolution digital maps will be analyzed) Copernicus Emergency Portal: URL: Triggering Emergency Services USERS Guide Service Request Forms User Feedback Forms

8 NON RUSH Service Low level of urgency Copernicus EMS Service Overview RUSH Service High level of urgency Active 24/7 Mapping Validation

9 GIO EMS service The service can be activated in Floods Earthquakes Fires Severe Storms Tsunamis Technological disasters Humanitarian crises The generation of cartographic products (maps) are based on the use of remote sensing data: Optical Images SAR images

10 How it works: decision scheme

11 RUSH or Non RUSH activation?

12 Operational Functional Contacts The ECHO duty officers Mail: Phone: The Geospatial Emergency Management TEAM RUSH Mail: Non RUSH Mail: After the ECHO-ERCC activation receipt and authorization The GIO EMS TEAM on duty operator Mail: WEB: Phone: RUSH mode

13 GIO EMS RUSH mode On-demand provision of geo-spatial information based on satellite data analysis Active H24 / 7D Focus on Emergency response phase Providing standardized Products

14 GIO EMS RUSH Product Portfolio Requests from users are classified in the following types: Type 1: Reference Type 2: Reference + Delineation Type 3: Reference + Delineation + Grading Reference Delineation Each map type has to be provided at two different scales: Overview 1: : : : : Detail 1:5000 1: : : : Grading Base layer Hydrology: rivers, lakes, reservoirs and open water, etc Toponyms and administrative boundaries Physiography: cliffs, contours and spot heights, etc Land cover: cropland, grassland, scrub, forest, natural vegetation, bare soil, wetlands, etc Settlements, both formal (urban, suburban, rural, etc) and informal (slums, IDP camps, etc) Transport: all transport networks and related infrastructure (e.g. roads, tracks, trails, railways, bridges, harbours, and airfields) Industry and Utilities: industrial facilities and power stations

15 Reference Map Pre-Event cartographic product showing: Basic topography information (roads, land cover, hydrological features and tailored information) for pre-disaster analysis e.g. potential gathering areas, potential helicopter landing areas

16 Delineation Map Post-Event cartographic product showing: Information on affected area (i.e. flooded area) coupled with basic topography information as per Reference Map

17 Grading Map Post-Event cartographic product highlighting: Effects of the event on the specific affected area and structures (i.e. level of damage, affected buildings/roads, etc.) combined with Reference & Disaster Extent Maps

18 GIO EMS stakeholders DG Enterprise Copernicus Unit Overall program coordination and political steer Authorised Users: National Focal Points, they can submit a request for activation to the ERCC ESA EO data via a delegated act from the Commission (GSC- DA Program) DG ECHO 24/7 Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) accepts / denies requests for activation DG JRC Technical supervision of operations and Contract management

19 Involved Actors during an Activiation The Authorized Users (AU) are the main beneficiaries of the GIO- EMS services The ERCC is the operational coordinator of the GIO EMS The DG JRC is the technical and administrative coordinator of GIO- EMS The ESA GSC-DA is responsible for EO data provision The On Duty Operator (OdO) is responsible for taking charge of the activation from the trigger to the delivery and the management of the overall process of GIO-EMS RUSH service production The Production Site (PS) takes charge of the EO data elaboration and the production of services required by the AU Service Provider

20 The Operational Workflow

21 Operational Workflow 1. Service Request The AU selects products and fills the Service Request Form (SRF) Service Request authorization Authorized User ECHO ERCC 2. Activation Feasibility Satellite data tasking; provision of Satellite Resource Table Service Provider ESA Product Relevance The User checks provisional product specification and delivery plan Product Generation and Delivery Authorized User Service Provider 5. Quality Check and feedback Authorized User EC JRC

22 Service Request Completion AU s trigger the service by compiling a Service Request Form Editable pdf version to be sent as an attachment to ERC at: ECHO-ERCC@ec.europa.eu The SRF Compilation and delivery is followed up with a phone alert to ERC:

23 Activation Feasibility Check the feasibility of using satellite imagery to map the event Check the event age to assess if it is still possible to extract meaningful information Check the event extent in order to select the most appropriate image swath/resolution Check the level of mapping detail requested vs the extent of the event area Check the feasibility of the requested delivery time compared to the satellite systems acquisition capabilities

24 Product Relevance The AU checks the provisional product specification and delivery plan On Duty Operator Estimated product delivery time based on: Satellite acquisition time Product type Any other additional constraints Authorised User Consistency check between the estimated product delivery time and operational constraints/ requirements of the End Users Go / No-Go feedack Assessment of product relevance is performed twice during the activation lifecycle: 1. At the time of satellite tasking (rough estimation) 2. After satellite data reception (more precise estimation)

25 Product Generation and Delivery GIO-EMS mapping delivers by default, information as feature data sets Product dissemination foresees complete set of defined deliverables (including printable maps) The Service Provider delivers products: Via JRC SFTP site Via GIO EMS Portal (not-yet-quality-reviewed) AU is alerted after upload with access details JRC performs an offline quality review and independent evaluation of delivered products Reference Delineation Grading

26 How the Service Works: A Typical Timeline Factors affecting service timeliness: User triggering delay Satellite image availability latency Weather conditions, when optical images are needed Satellite programming T0 Event date T1 = T0 + 1 day Triggering by authorized users T2 = T1 + 1 day Map Image production acquisition EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS T3 = T2 + 3/8 hours Products Delivery to AU/ASCU Courtesy of JRC

27 Timeline of RUSH activations Average values observed for each main phase of an activation through the whole service provision The duration of an activation is mostly defined by the time needed for EO data tasking and acquisition First Available Map: - 3hrs (flood, fire, special request) - 8hrs (all other cases)

28 Timeline example: EMSR009 - Flood in Sweeden Output products 13:20 UTC REF+DEL map 2 AOIs delivered 08:00 UTC REF+ DEL map 3 rd AOI delivered Day 7 9 July UTC Flood in Sweeden Input data 12:56 UTC GIO Activation 16:47 UTC Satellite data request to ESA 10:37 UTC Satellite data availability 14:13 UTC AU Aerial data for REF maps 16:47 UTC Monitoring Request First available map: 3,5 days after the event 2 day after service activation

29 Timeline example: EMSR045 - Flood in Czech Rep. Output products 18:29 UTC 1^ REF map delivered 03:27 UTC 1^ DEL map delivered June 2013 Day UTC Flood in Czech Republic Input data UTC GIO Activation 16:09 UTC Satellite data request to ESA 18:18 UTC CSK proactive acquisition 13:34 UTC AU WMS for REF maps First available map: 3,5 days after the event 1 day and few hours after service activation

30 Timeline example: EMSR-050 Fire in Portugal Output products 21:35 UTC 1^ REF map delivered 16:16 UTC 1^ DEL map and 1^ GRAD map delivered 15:15 UTC MONIT0R 1 1^ DEL map and 1^ GRAD map delivered July Day 12:47 UTC Fire in Portugal Input data 12:34 UTC GIO Activation 13:08 UTC Satellite data request to ESA 18:22 UTC AU WMS for REF maps 11:13 UTC GeoEye acquisition 14:11 UTC GeoEye delivery 10:12 UTC Deimos&WV2 acquisition 12:14 UTC Deimos&WV2 delivery First available map: 2,5 days after the event 1,5 days after service activation
