2 (Many years ago) Awareness and Use of Earth Observation in the CP Organization EO not fully employed due to: Necessity of robustness Necessity of awareness about data accuracy Inadequate spatial and/or temporal resolutions Processing time inadequate during the emergency phase High costs

3 Expected Benefits of Earth Observation Continuous monitoring (overview) of territory; Ready-to-use and geo-referenced data for GIS systems; Updated and fast delivered information; Wide and homogeneous areas inspection (same details for whole territory); Availability of long period dataset (for historical analysis); Improving of emergency management for few and well identified event (flood, atmospheric and water pollution) Examples: Boundaries of flooded areas Land displacement due to subsidence or active faults River network, dams and reservoir census

14 September 2009: forest fires in Liguria Region, ERS activation Action SAFER, CALL ID : ERCS_010 Location : Italy Requestor : Italian Civil Protection Event : fires A fire broke out on the 6th of September 2009 in the forests of the province of Liguria, Northern Italy, reaching the outskirts of Genoa city 2 days after the beginning of the fire, affecting over 800 hectares. A second fire appeared on the 7th of september 2009 in the Cinque Terre area, a national park registered as a world heritage humanity site, threatening the tourist village of Corniglia. Corrodano, village closed to the park, was also threatened by the flames. Notification : maps of the fires in Italy Crisis overview map over Genova area, situation the 7 th of September 2009 (1: ) : P01 Reference map over Genova area (1 : ) : P02 Reference map over Corniglia area (1 : ) : P03 Reference map over Corrodano area (1 : ) : P04 Crisis overview map over Genova area, situation the 8 th of September 2009 (1: ) : P05 Crisis overview map over Genova area, situation the 10 th of September 2009 (1: ) : P06 Crisis overview map over Genova area, situation the 11 th of September 2009 (1: ) : P07

16 September 2009: forest fires in Liguria Region, ERS activation

17 February 2010: Oil spill in Lambro river, ERS activation The Lombarda Petroli oil refinery plant, in Villasanta (Lombardia Region, Monza Province), at the moment of the event was going to be closed but there was still a 30% of activity going on. On February the 23th at 4.00am a serious and heavy oil pouring started to happen from the plan t tank farm and it has been interrupted at 8.00am. The rainy atmospheric condition contributed in making the leakage even more efficient and the dispersed liquid reached the sewers. Through the sewers the oil reached the San Rocco purifier, which supply the whole Brianza district. The purifier conked out. From that purifier part of the liters (about cubic meters) of oil out flowed and reached the Lambro river. The oil slick started to flow within the Lambro river and reached its confluence with Po river.

18 February 2010: Oil spill in Lambro river, ERS activation Lombardia Region Cremona oil slick front: 25/02/2010, 7:00 Borgoforte oil slick front foreseen: 26/02/2010, 12:00 Veneto Region Pontelagoscuro oil slick front foreseen: 27/02/2010, 14:00 20 km Emilia Romagna Region Serafini island oil slick front: 24/02/2010, 21:00 Boretto oil slick front foreseen: 26/02/2010, 2:00 About 240 km

25 November 2010: reclamation activities in Sardinia Region, ERS activation DPC required high resolution (res. < or equal to 1m) optical acquisition area of interest La Maddalena municipality (Sardinia Region, Italy) UNUSUAL ACTIVATION REQUEST A "special" kind of geographic reference detail map is needed, in which all the foreseen vectorial analysis in the standard product is NOT shown (no hydrology, no transport, no population, no industry and utilities,...). The only value added analyses requested on top of the image are: - orthorectification of the image - the exact rectangular Area Of Interest (AOI) shown as a vectorial feature on the map (with vertex's coordinates specified among the ancillary infos on the map's frame and shown as labels into the map)

26 July 2011: active fires monitoring, Italian territory, ERS activation Emergency Response: Active fire location (FMM-1) Updating freq: 5 min to 8 times per Day Content: Active fire location, estimated burning area, fire power, fire temperature, background temperature and cloud Cover Resolution: 1 to 4 km Delivery time: within few minutes after EO data acquisition
