Activation of EMS
• Begin of activity at national level: 01.06.
• Activation 044: 03.06.
• Activation 047: 18.06.
• Duration of product delivery (first crisis
product)
– Activation 044: 42:53
– Activation 047: 32:13

Used mechanisms
• COPERNICUS EMS
• National Service ZKI-DE
• International Charter
21.10.2013 Division I crisis management
Joint Information and Situation Center
• Overall coordination at GMLZ (AU)
– Managing requests from Regions (Länder)
– Allocate requests to services
– Continuous support to GMLZ by geo information
specialist
• Workflow EMS activation
– (re)definition of AOIs and map scale takes additional
time
– Confirmation ok, status updates could be more
structured (e.g. table)

Usage of satellite based products
Situational awareness at national and regional level
Briefing of high level crisis management
Vector data used by many other authorities to assess possible impacts to
• Forest
• Cultural heritage
• food processing units
• radio transmitter
Documenting the event
Support for applications for financial aid

Take home message
• Advantage of EMS:
– surprisingly fast, but still not matching user
needs
– established data procurement scheme
– free of charge for users
• Advantage of ZKI-DE
– German products and SP!
– very flexible, following ad-hoc user needs
– better cartography
– very fast data processing and analysis
21.10.2013 Division I crisis management
Take home message
• Cooperation between COPERNICUS and
Int. CHARTER should be enforced
• National service ready and available
• Remote sensing products have been
requested by many users
