GMES initial operations: emergency mapping external validation service

European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen, Management Support Unit

The GMES initial operations — emergency management service is intended as an operational service offered to the authorised users active in the field of crisis management in the EU Member States, the European Civil Protection Mechanism, the Commission's Directorates-General (DGs) and the participating executive agencies and international humanitarian aid.
The core character of the GIO-EMS service lies in the provision upon activation by the authorised user of timely and accurate information derived from satellite imaging sensor data in all phases of the emergency management cycle. The information generated by the service can be used as supplied by the contractor (e.g. as digital or printed map outputs) or further combined with other data sources (e.g. as digital feature sets in a geographic information system (GIS)) to support analysis and decision-making processes of emergency managers.
The implementation of the GIO-EMS service foresees 3 different modules:
mapping in rush mode: this service concerns the on-demand and fast provision of geospatial information in support to emergency management activities immediately following an emergency event. The service provision is based on the processing and analysis, in rush mode, of:
(i) satellite and aerial image sensor data of varying spatial and spectral resolution; and
(ii) other geospatial raster and vector data sources;
mapping in non-rush mode: this service concerns the on-demand provision of geospatial information in support to emergency management activities during the phases of the emergency management cycle which are not related to the immediate response, i.e. not requiring rush mode delivery. In particular, information provision relates to the prevention, preparedness and reconstruction phases;
external validation: this service provision is tailored to the on-demand verification of a sample of service outputs produced by the rush mode or non-rush mode services, and includes external quality control, validation of thematic information content and comparison to alternative information sources related to the emergency context.
The contract refers to the GMES initial operations: emergency mapping external validation service.
