RISE (Remote Imaging Support for Emergencies), developed by WASDI, is transforming emergency response through its innovative Earth Observation (EO) platform. This web application is designed to monitor humanitarian camps and vulnerable areas, leveraging remote sensing to provide near real-time insights into floods, droughts, and other natural disasters.
Key Features
- Geospatial Intelligence: RISE enables organizations to obtain critical geospatial intelligence, allowing them to assist more people with fewer resources and time. By monitoring floods, droughts, and their impacts, RISE supports informed decision-making during emergencies.
- User-Friendly Design: Tailored for non-technical users, RISE delivers actionable insights from satellite data in an intuitive environment, making it accessible for a wide range of humanitarian actors.
- Automation and Portability: The platform automates hazard detection and mapping processes, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Its cloud-based processing power ensures seamless operation, even in remote locations with limited infrastructure.
- Expandable Capabilities: RISE is built for future expansion, with the ability to integrate additional hazards and environmental models, such as forest fires, air quality monitoring, and deforestation tracking.
Pilot Case in Madagascar
RISE's capabilities will be demonstrated in a humanitarian camp in Madagascar, where it supports the Luxembourg Red Cross in monitoring and managing emergency situations despite challenging conditions.
RISE represents a significant step forward in leveraging EO technologies for humanitarian efforts, providing a scalable and adaptable solution for addressing global challenges. For more information, explore the innovative work of WASDI and the RISE project.
