- Welcome and Introductions
- Featured Presentation: A bird’s eye view: supporting disaster response with NASA’s open satellite data by Joshua Barnes, Program Manager, Disaster Response Coordination System (DRCS) for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Abstract: A rich array of data and information is consistently more available immediately after a disaster that could be utilized for supporting the situational awareness, decision support, and otherwise lifesaving and life sustaining measures of response efforts globally. But the question remains is even with a deluge of data "for good" or other cutting-edge science and technology, how can we best bridge the gaps between information overload and both consistent and reliable knowledge from which emergency management can fully utilize? NASA's Disasters Response Coordination System is working within the NASA science enterprise and across the interagency to try to knit those very issues together. Recent disaster responses have shown both immense opportunities for leveraging new technology and data sources while also highlighting critical gaps where the organic connections between the research community, data providers, and the end users practical needs don't always align.
