Identify and value assets for insurance including buildings, infrastructure and agriculture/livestock

SIBELIUs improves severe-weather resilience for herding communities using satellite Earth observation (EO) by providing improved capacity for distributing new and upgraded environmental information products. The SIBELIUs solution makes use of free and open EO data in particular Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 making it sustainable. It is applicable for environmental monitoring especially for pasture, snow and drought in countries with herding communities such as Mongolia. Benefits for the herding community will be achieved by using improved environmental information through three main channels: i) the insurance sector, ii) government agencies coordinating livestock and land use, and iii) directly to the herders through text messaging. The improved product provides complete country coverage, provided more frequently, for longer periods of the year, more accurately and with improved spatial resolution. The SIBELIUs solution is aiming to update environmental products every two weeks, which meets requirements for relatively slowly evolving conditions such as pasture.
