1 Awareness & Demonstration: EMERGENCY Services Athens, Greece 14 th May 2014 Agata Priolo

2 Content Overview of Coperinicus Emergency Services Operation Overview of Operational Services Description of RUSH and Non-RUSH mode services workflow Service Request Procedures Product Generation and Delivery Service Outputs Service summary Live Demonstration of the COPERNICUS EMERGENCY SERVICES Emergency Services Portfolio Service Portfolio analysis Details of service Products (AOIs, scale, layers,..) (Printed Maps and Full resolution digital maps will be analyzed) Copernicus Emergency Portal: URL: Triggering Emergency Services USERS Guide Service Request Forms User Feedback Forms

3 Content Scenario Exercise Triggering the GIO EMS Service Hands-on exercise : Analysis of an emergency scenario Analysis of the specific service request activation; Selection of products and specific mapping details, Triggering the service and provide feedback on the process

4 NON RUSH Service Low level of urgency Copernicus EMS Service Overview RUSH Service High level of urgency Active 24/7 Mapping Validation

5 GIO EMS service The service can be activated in Floods Earthquakes Fires Severe Storms Tsunamis Technological disasters Humanitarian crises The generation of cartographic products (maps) are based on the use of remote sensing data: Optical Images SAR images

6 How it works: decision scheme

7 RUSH or Non RUSH activation?

8 Operational Functional Contacts The ECHO duty officers Mail: Phone: The Geospatial Emergency Management TEAM RUSH Mail: Non RUSH Mail: After the ECHO-ERCC activation receipt and authorization The GIO EMS TEAM on duty operator Mail: WEB: Phone: RUSH mode

9 GIO EMS RUSH mode On-demand provision of geo-spatial information based on satellite data analysis Active H24 / 7D Focus on Emergency response phase Providing standardized Products

10 GIO EMS RUSH Product Portfolio Requests from users are classified in the following types: Type 1: Reference Type 2: Reference + Delineation Type 3: Reference + Delineation + Grading Reference Delineation Each map type has to be provided at two different scales: Overview 1: : : : : Detail 1:5000 1: : : : Grading Base layer Hydrology: rivers, lakes, reservoirs and open water, etc Toponyms and administrative boundaries Physiography: cliffs, contours and spot heights, etc Land cover: cropland, grassland, scrub, forest, natural vegetation, bare soil, wetlands, etc Settlements, both formal (urban, suburban, rural, etc) and informal (slums, IDP camps, etc) Transport: all transport networks and related infrastructure (e.g. roads, tracks, trails, railways, bridges, harbours, and airfields) Industry and Utilities: industrial facilities and power stations

11 Reference Map Pre-Event cartographic product showing: Basic topography information (roads, land cover, hydrological features and tailored information) for pre-disaster analysis e.g. potential gathering areas, potential helicopter landing areas

12 Delineation Map Post-Event cartographic product showing: Information on affected area (i.e. flooded area) coupled with basic topography information as per Reference Map

13 Grading Map Post-Event cartographic product highlighting: Effects of the event on the specific affected area and structures (i.e. level of damage, affected buildings/roads, etc.) combined with Reference & Disaster Extent Maps

14 GIO EMS stakeholders DG Enterprise Copernicus Unit Overall program coordination and political steer Authorised Users: National Focal Points, they can submit a request for activation to the ERCC ESA EO data via a delegated act from the Commission (GSC- DA Program) DG ECHO 24/7 Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) accepts / denies requests for activation DG JRC Technical supervision of operations and Contract management

15 Involved Actors during an Activiation The Authorized Users (AU) are the main beneficiaries of the GIO- EMS services The ERCC is the operational coordinator of the GIO EMS The DG JRC is the technical and administrative coordinator of GIO- EMS The ESA GSC-DA is responsible for EO data provision The On Duty Operator (OdO) is responsible for taking charge of the activation from the trigger to the delivery and the management of the overall process of GIO-EMS RUSH service production The Production Site (PS) takes charge of the EO data elaboration and the production of services required by the AU Service Provider

16 The Operational Workflow

17 Operational Workflow 1. Service Request The AU selects products and fills the Service Request Form (SRF) Service Request authorization Authorized User ECHO ERCC 2. Activation Feasibility Satellite data tasking; provision of Satellite Resource Table Service Provider ESA Product Relevance The User checks provisional product specification and delivery plan Product Generation and Delivery Authorized User Service Provider 5. Quality Check and feedback Authorized User EC JRC

18 Service Request Completion AU s trigger the service by compiling a Service Request Form Editable pdf version to be sent as an attachment to ERC at: ECHO-ERCC@ec.europa.eu The SRF Compilation and delivery is followed up with a phone alert to ERC:

19 Activation Feasibility Check the feasibility of using satellite imagery to map the event Check the event age to assess if it is still possible to extract meaningful information Check the event extent in order to select the most appropriate image swath/resolution Check the level of mapping detail requested vs the extent of the event area Check the feasibility of the requested delivery time compared to the satellite systems acquisition capabilities

20 Product Relevance The AU checks the provisional product specification and delivery plan On Duty Operator Estimated product delivery time based on: Satellite acquisition time Product type Any other additional constraints Authorised User Consistency check between the estimated product delivery time and operational constraints/ requirements of the End Users Go / No-Go feedack Assessment of product relevance is performed twice during the activation lifecycle: 1. At the time of satellite tasking (rough estimation) 2. After satellite data reception (more precise estimation)

21 Product Generation and Delivery GIO-EMS mapping delivers by default, information as feature data sets Product dissemination foresees complete set of defined deliverables (including printable maps) The Service Provider delivers products: Via JRC SFTP site Via GIO EMS Portal (not-yet-quality-reviewed) AU is alerted after upload with access details JRC performs an offline quality review and independent evaluation of delivered products Reference Delineation Grading

22 How the Service Works: A Typical Timeline Factors affecting service timeliness: User triggering delay Satellite image availability latency Weather conditions, when optical images are needed Satellite programming T0 Event date T1 = T0 + 1 day Triggering by authorized users T2 = T1 + 1 day Map Image production acquisition EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS T3 = T2 + 3/8 hours Products Delivery to AU/ASCU Courtesy of JRC

23 Timeline of RUSH activations 60:00:00 48:00:00 36:00:00 24:00:00 12:00:00 10:13:00 1:59:00 28:49:00 3:26:00 2:03:00 39:27:00 map production and delivery satellite reception and validation satellite tasking and acquisition request handling Average values observed for each main phase of an activation through the whole service provision The duration of an activation is mostly defined by the time needed for EO data tasking and acquisition 0:00:00 1:57:00 1:46:00 till EMSR031 from EMSR032 onwards First Available Map: - 3hrs (flood, fire, special request) - 8hrs (all other cases)
