Sentinel Asia is a voluntary initiative by a collaboration between

space agencies and disaster management agencies, applying

remote sensing and Web-GIS technologies to assist disaster

management in the Asia-Pacific region.

In Oct 2005, APRSAF-12, in Kitakyushu,

Japan, the plan to initiate the pilot project was approved.

In Feb 2006, Joint Project Team (JPT)

was organized and Sentinel Asia has

started.

Sentinel Asia is the first initiative

under APRSAF.
