6 NASA Disaster Response: Science for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience Regional Support Planning Education Training Monitoring Monitoring Natural Laboratories/ Observatories Pre-Disaster Baseline Assessment Prediction and Forecast Detection Recovery Observatory Rapid Assessment - Response Data Collection & Input Modeling, Mapping Continual Assessment Rapid Assessment - Recovery Post Disaster Needs Assessment Post-Disaster Baseline Detailed Assessment 6
7 NASA Disasters Program The Disasters Program collect data, and in combination with NASA scientists, academic partners, and international collaborators, provides produces for situational awareness and decision support. Utilizing the various NASA centers and their resources, a robust response program has been assembled to respond to various disasters worldwide Meteorological (hurricanes, tornadoes) Hydrological (heavy rain/flood) Geophysical (earthquakes, volcanoes)
8 Observing the lifecycle of an event: Hurricane Maria, 2017
9 Rainfall totals over the islands NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data were used to estimate the total amount of rain that Hurricane Maria dropped from September 17 to early September 21, During that period Maria dropped heavy rain in the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. IMERG estimated that rainfall totals greater than 10 inches (254 mm) were common along Maria's track. IMERG rainfall estimates indicated that more than 20 inches (512 mm) of rain fell over a large part of Puerto Rico.
10 Response Support for Maria Texas (Harvey) Puerto Rico Damage Proxy Map (Hurricane Maria) Florida (Irma) Puerto Rico (Maria) Dominica (Maria) FEMA used ARIA map for its Urban Search and Rescue team in Puerto Rico NASA / JPL-Caltech / ARIA contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2017) European Space Agency Google Earth NASA s ARIA team generated and delivered flood and damage proxy maps using satellite SAR imagery. A damage proxy map of Puerto Rico devastated by Hurricane Maria was generated using SAR data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites (operated by the European Space Agency) acquired on 21 September was delivered on 22 September to FEMA. FEMA created a damage density map derived from the ARIA damage proxy map and sent it to its Urban Search and Rescue teams in the field in Puerto Rico a breakthrough societal impact
11 Pinpointing Where the Lights Went Out in Puerto Rico Before-and-after images of Puerto Rico s nighttime lights are based on data captured by the Suomi NPP satellite. The data were acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) day-night band, which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared. These data were provided to the National Guard and other partners to determine where to focus efforts to install generators and aided in the response efforts.
12 Observing Kilauea Volcano The Kilauea Volcano eruption in Hawaii triggered a number of gas- and lava-oozing fissures in the East Rift Zone of the volcano. The fissures and high levels of sulfur dioxide gas prompted evacuations in the area. Images taken from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) onboard NASA s Terra satellite picked up these new fissures on May 6 th. These data are being used to characterize potential impacts and exposure.

16 GPM Rainfall used to observe monsoon rainfall near dam breach in Laos The Challenge: Unique Features: A hydroelectric dam under construction in southeast Laos collapsed late Monday July 23rd in the Attapeu province of Sanamxay district. The collapse has left hundreds missing and an unknown number dead as water went gushing into six villages. Approximately 6,600 people have been left homeless as the result of the flood. he dam, which was under construction and not yet in operation collapsed after heavy monsoon rains in the area. ADPC produced quick time series analysis of GPM satellite precipitation data, comparing with data from the Hydo and Agro Informatics Institute (HAII). Observations matched well with the GPM IMERG data, where daily rainfall was estimated up to 300 mm/day in the days leading up to the dam breach during the period July.

17 Laos Dam Flooding July 2018 On July 25, 2018, the Sentinel-1 satellite from the European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus program captured a clear image of the collapsed Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy dam and resulting floods. The imagery within the map viewer shows a drastic drop in the reservoir level, the impacts of which were felt on villages downstream. JULY 13th NASA and SERVIR-Mekong processed satellite imagery to estimate the extent of the flooded areas, particularly along the Xe Pian River and village of Sanamxai along the Xe Khong River in Attapeu province. JULY 25th
