Abstract

Hazard always arises from the interplay of social and biological and physical systems; disasters are generated as much or more by human actions as by physical events and there is a proofed impact of global warming on natural disasters. In recent years, Remote Sensing technologies has been of considerable interest concerned with emergency services and disaster management. The objective of this paper is not to provide an overview of how Earth observation technologies can be used in the management of natural hazards in details and in case studies. The focus lies in the documentation of the requirements for the usage of Remote Sensing images within the topics of natural hazards and disaster management on different scales (from global to local aspects). Some examples of international operational mechanisms (Charter, Copernicus, ZKI), serving rapid mapping on Earth observation data will be pointed out.
