IAEM - Europa - News > Exercise For Rapid Disaster Relief With Space-Based Technologies

IAEM - Europa - News > Exercise For Rapid Disaster Relief With Space-Based Technologies: "In Cyprus, disaster management experts of the European Union tested a satellite based system for monitoring disaster areas. On behalf of the European Commission, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has developed a system that enables disaster relief workers to access up to date satellite images while being in the field and exchange data among themselves.

The exercise took place in the framework of the EU-project LIMES (Land and Sea Integrated Monitoring for European Security), which develops and applies satellite-based technologies in the field of security for Europe."
