Monitoring of disaster-impacted regions when disaster strikes to improve coordination of response teams and assets

EASOS Data Discovery Hub is a user friendly, one stop shop, web platform that can be used to discover, select, order, receive, visualise and download Earth observation (EO) data, with convenient filtering tools. The platform provides ongoing access to over 56 million existing EO images collected by all the major image suppliers, providing flexibility in covering events and locations with the most appropriate EO data. EASOS Data Discovery Hub combines both free EO data, from Copernicus and Landsat, and commercial EO data, including optical and radar. The platform ensures efficient and independent access to imagery from the range of image suppliers to help monitor and assess areas of concern to authorities in terms of illegal activity, marine pollution or deforestation. It also allows authorities to monitor disaster-impacted regions when disaster strikes to improve coordination of response teams and assets.
