Task Definition
Define and facilitate implementation of satellite constellations for risk management from a multi-hazard perspective. Undertake the consolidation of the validated requirements and examine options for system development and implementation, using the following steps: (i) Assessment of the use of satellite data for the management of different types of disasters and development of a Road Map; (ii) Roll-up across all disaster types to establish overall architecture requirements for Earth observation satellites; (iii) Simulation of satellite systems to respond to the requirements; (iv) Gap analysis for existing and planned satellite systems; (v) Recommendations for future satellite systems. Deliverables will include: (i) Constellation requirement definition and performance assessment; (ii) Actions towards the Board of the International Charter and relevant CEOS members, to identify possible strengthening of Charter mechanisms and options for widening its scope; and (iii) Charter metadata catalogue.

Motivation/Background
(Why should this Task or sub-task be implemented? What relevance to society? What is the state of the art?)
Increased use of satellite data in support of the full cycle of risk management will allow disaster managers to better plan for disaster situations, to save lives and protect property. Increase cooperation during the response phase will enable developing countries to improve disaster response practices and develop capacity.

Cross-cutting Components
The task includes development of capacity to better access Charter data in a range of developed and developing countries (see Charter Cooperation above).
Architecture and Data
1) Please briefly describe any task-related Earth observation resources (data set, system, website/portal) and any related Web Service interfaces that are contributed to GEOSS. State whether these items are or will be registered with the GEOSS Component and Service Registry for access via the GEO Web Portals, and whether any associated standards or other interoperability arrangements will be registered in the Standards and Interoperability Registry.
2) Please also describe what data and information your activity/system needs that you would request to be accessible through the GEOSS Common Infrastructure.
Capacity Building
(capacity building is defined to include the development of capacity related to: (i) Infrastructure and technology transfer (Hardware, Software and other technology required to develop, access and use EO); (ii) Individuals (education and training of individuals to be aware of, access, use and develop EO) and (iii) Institutions – building policies, programs & organizational structures to enhance the value of EO data and products).
1) In accordance with the above definition does this Task have a capacity-building component? If so, please provide a short description of this component including a description of end users.
2) Have any additional CB needs for this Task been identified? Please provide a short description.
The task includes development of capacity to better access Charter data in a range of developed and developing countries.
Science and Technology
1. Please briefly describe the elements of scientific research or technological development contained in this Task
2. In relation to the S&T component(s) of this Task, please describe gaps, priorities, continuity needs, barriers, scientific expertise and additional resource needs (this information will be used for developing a gaps and needs assessment in Task ST-09-01)
User Engagement
Please briefly describe to what extent end users are engaged in this Task and influence the nature of the outputs produced
End users have been consulted on the user requirements for satellite data and products and will remain in the verification and validation loop as architecture requirements are developed. End users include meteorological organizations, national and international disaster and risk managers and other disaster managers.
Contribution to Outputs and Activities Above
China
National Satellite Meteorological Center(NSMC): By the end of 2009, Natonal Satellite Meteorological Center (NSMC/CMA) will finish the wildfires monitoring system by using the past 20 years and current meteorological satellite data, the function includes real-time fire monitoring, risk assessment and warning. This system wil be supported by the past 20 years fire results data. Now NSMC also has developped many products on natural disaster monitoring by using satellite data, and we will still continue to do more research and application work on hazards by using both polar orbit and geostationary satellite data, a plan for recent five years has been made and will be executed.
Japan
AIST: Satellite-based mapping for geological hazard and earthquake-induced risk on GEO Grid.
JAXA: To develop the SAR Interferometry technique and provide the products of the crustal movement. Also, to contribute to the future Super Site collaboration.
Norway
NGU (The Geological Survey of Norway): Use of satellite radar data for long-time monitoring of areas with subsidence and avalanche risk in Norway.
NORSAR: Characterisation of structures from satellite images.
CEOS
CSA: Development of system architecture for risk management, including validation with users. Based on user requirements developed under DI-06-09_1, the action will document existing and planned systems that meet requirements, determine gaps and propose satellite architectures that address the priority needs.
CNES: Development and operation of International Charter metadata catalog using GEO interoperability standards to contribute to GEO Portal.
ESA: Implementation of GEO-Charter Agreement for broadening access to Charter data. Develop metadata catalogue.
UNOOSA, GISTDA: Analyze the response by WGISS members to supply near real-time data of the 2007 Wenchuan Earthquake to the Chinese response agency. Develop a working process model to integrate and make use of existing technologies within WGISS/CEOS, i.e. web service, grid, and clearing house for disaster response. Implement a prototype to demonstrate use of these integrated technologies for the process model for the earthquake scenario.
GEO Secretariat’s Comment: The possibility of CNES contributing its International Charter metadata catalog, upon completion, to the GEO Portal will be explored. Contribution from members will bring extremely valuable input to user requirements and system’s architecture reports.
