OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR ASSURING EFFICIENT
USE OF NATIONAL REFERENCE IN-SITU DATA IN GMES
EMERGENCY MAPPING SERVICES
INSPIRE Conference, Istanbul 2012
GIO Emergency Management Service
Validation
Rush mode products
• On demand
• Standardized
• Hours-days
Reference maps
Disaster response maps
Non-rush mode products
• On demand
• Standard base adaptable to
user requests
• Weeks-months
Reference maps
Pre-disaster situation maps
Reference maps
Post-disaster situation maps
GIO EMS users
• Authorised Users (AU) – trigger EM services by sending request to
Emergency Response Centre (ERC)
• National Focal Points (NFPs) – National Civil Protection Organisations (NCPOs)
• EU Services: DG ECHO, DG HOME, DG REGIO, DG DEVCO
• The Situation Room of the European External Action Service (EEAS)
• Associated Users (ASCU) – coordinate with and go through the AUs
for triggering EMS
• Local, regional and other public entities in MS
• International Governmental Organisations
• Entities and institutions belonging to EEAS
• General public users
Reference in-situ data requirements
• Usability • Use in geo-referencing or ortho-rectification of satellite images;
• Enrichment of the map content (and the readability) with layers such as roads, urban
extent, hydrography, infrastructure, etc. that are easily recognised by the end-users;
• Enabling the generation of derived data and statistics combining the information of
specific GIO-EMS mapping layers with reference data layers
• Type of data
• base topographical and thematic map layers, such as transport layers, urban areas,
building footprints, infrastructure, hydrography, etc.
• digital orthophotos;
• DTMs or DEMs, contours
• Access
• via internet is preferred – WFS, WMS, WCS, TMS
• Dedicated accounts for internet access
• The most sensitive aspects
• timeliness of data access, data accuracy and detail
Preparatory actions
• EEA-EuroGeographics agreement• To secure the timely availability and delivery of national geospatial data during crisis
situations in Europe in order to provide the best possible basis for crisis
management;
• To provide a framework for knowledge exchange between National Mapping &
Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs) and the GMES emergency management service
concerning the provision and use of geospatial data required for the GMES
emergency management service operations
• EuroGeographics surveys
• Survey (1) on available national collaboration frameworks between National
Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCA) and National Civil Protection
Organisations (NCPO)
• Survey (2) on available datasets and web services from NMCAs

Conclusions based on survey results
• Strong link between NMCAs and NCPOs
• All NCPOs have data access or pre-delivery data arrangements
• NCPOs maintain usage rights to NMCAs products
• Data exchange / update provision focused to (INSPIRE) webservices
• Reference data from NMCAs of EU and candidate countries are
available by remote access (FTP or webservices)
• NMCAs maintain wide range, reliable and high accurate spatial
datasets
• Due to INSPIRE development NMCAs are in process of launching
more webservices
• EuroGeographics recognises to strength collaboration between its
members by establishing Knowledge Exchange Network on
Emergency Data
Follow up: test in 5 countriesGreat Britain, Latvia, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden
• Priorities to dataset content are defined as following
• Ortophotos at 0,5m pixel size or larger
• Raster topographic maps at scale 1:50 000 or larger
• Vector topographic datasets at scale 1:50 000 or larger
• DEM, 30m resolution or better
• NMCAs data access for EMS service provider will be arranged via
NCPOs
• Using available license arrangements
• Signing new license agreements (if necessary)
• EMS service provider to be recognised as a subcontractor of NCPO
• Non exclusive right agreement is necessary
