2 JRC and GMES: Overview 1. Introduction of Joint Research Centre 2. JRC and GMES: Research and Support 3. GIO-EMS Mapping: rush mode, non-rush mode, validation

3 Introduction of JRC JRC is the European Commission s in-house science service. Our Mission is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies. Established institutes in 5 countries: Italy, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain 2,845 permanent and temporary staff in 2010 Corporate Services Brussels IRMM Geel, Belgium Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements ITU Karlsruhe, Germany and Ispra, Italy Institute for Transuranium Elements IE Petten, The Netherlands and Ispra, Italy Institute for Energy IPSC Ispra, Italy Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen IES Ispra, Italy Institute for Environment and Sustainability IHCP Ispra, Italy Institute for Health and Consumer Protection IPTS Seville, Spain Institute for Prospective Technological Studies

7 GIO EMS Mapping The GIO-EMS mapping service aims to provide timely and accurate geospatial information to decision makers in all phases of the emergency management cycle The information source is satellite imagery, completed by available reference data or open data sources. The services are offered upon activation by authorized users and are free of charge. The information generated by the service (products) can be used as supplied (e.g. as digital or printed map outputs) or further combined with other data sources (e.g. as digital feature sets in a geographic information system (GIS)) to support geospatial analysis and decision making processes of emergency managers.

8 GIO-EMS Mapping GIO-EMS is the first operational service of the European GMES programme Successor to SAFER and linker research activities in period Service contracts for Mapping in Rush Mode (e-geos+partners), Mapping in Non-rush mode (ASTRIUM Infoterra UK, e-geos, INDRA Sistemas), and Validation (under process) Complemented by ESA-DAP for satellite data procurement Operational kick-off per 1 April 2012, for 3 years Overall coordinated by DG ENTR 24/7 focalpoint at DG ECHO/MIC Technical coordination by DG JRC IWG SEM 2 nd workshop - 17 April

12 GIO EMS Rush Mode Rush mode: fast provision (hours-days) of geo-spatial information in support to emergency management activities immediately following an emergency event (response, needs assessment) The products are standardized following a set of parameters the user can choose while requesting the service. Reference maps provide knowledge on the territory and assets prior to the emergency. A reference map is normally based on the pre-event image. Delineation maps provide an assessment of the event impact and extent (and of its evolution if requested). Delineation maps are derived from satellite post-event images. Grading maps provide an assessment of the damage grade (and of its evolution if requested). Grading maps are derived from post-event satellite images.

13 GIO EMS Rush Mode The service provider maintains a 24/7/365 on-duty coordination task to receive authorised requests and organise the related technical work It aims to cover the main disaster types: 1. Forest fire, wild fire 2. Flood, tsunami 3. Wind storm 4. Earthquake 5. Industrial accident (including nuclear accident) 6. Others: geophysical (e.g. landslides, volcanic eruptions), humanitarian crisis (e.g. IDP movement), other events that are considered to be covered by emergency management

17 GIO EMS Non Rush Mode Non-rush mode: on-demand provision (weeks-months) of geo-spatial information in support to emergency management activities not related to the immediate response, e.g. prevention, preparedness and reconstruction phases. Non-rush mode products are tailored to the specific user needs, expressed while requesting the service. Three broad categories are foreseen. Reference maps provide comprehensive knowledge of the territory and assets in disaster risk reduction contexts. Pre-disaster situation maps provide relevant and up-to-date thematic information vulnerable assessment, mitigation. Post-disaster situation maps provide relevant and up-to-date thematic information on recovery needs, reconstruction planning and progress monitoring, mapping long-term impact, etc.

18 GIO-EMS External Validation External validation: is meant as a support to technical review, validation and technical auditing External validation is applied to a sample or rush mode and nonrush mode products, either selected randomly or based on notifications by service coordinators or end-users. Service activation is specific to the product to be validated and/or specific technical or thematic issues It may integrate field surveying and event information sources that are independently generated It will address valuation of the services as well, for instance, by comparing information relevance to other sources External validation will result in a detailed technical report and associated geospatial products The call for tender is about to be published.
