The International Charter: Space and Major Disasters
Satellite data to support disaster response worldwide
What is the Charter?
The International Charter: Space and Major Disasters strives to be a key provider of Earth-observation satellite data and works with experts to derive information products to support disaster relief organizations in saving lives, property, infrastructure, and the environment following major disasters worldwide.
What do we do?
Registered Authorized Users (typically representing national disaster management authorities) are able to activate the Charter by reporting a disaster via a single access point that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and at no cost to the user.
After a successful activation of the Charter, the requestor may receive satellite data in the form of analyzed disaster maps covering affected areas within a matter of hours or days.
