Crisis management system

Eagle Space aims at the integration of space based capabilities in crisis management to support the joint combat of natural flooding and wildfire disasters. The Eagle Space project targets the crisis management and coordination centres at national level, the safety regions at regional level and the emergency services (fire brigades, police, medical) at subregional level, coordinated by their emergency rooms. The consortium focuses on Belgium and the Netherlands in a first phase. The service combines earth observation and satellite communication with secure, reliable and accurate positioning information and access to a GNSS based alert service independent of ground infrastructure.
