Environment & Disaster Management

Monitor coastal erosion to help plan for necessary intervention
Calculate change in urban tree canopy coverage and address urban heat island effect
Use near infrared imagery to assist in evaluation of vegetation vigour

Identify high-risk locations and evaluate the impact of future emergencies & disasters
Map critical facilities in high-risk zones, including infrastructure such as bridges, roads, hospitals, industrial units, etc.
Plan for necessary mitigation strategies to avoid potential hazards and minimize loss of value lives, environment and infrastructure
Analyse data to identify the combination of features that increase risks, for example topography & vegetation increasing fire risks

Where should fire stations and paramedic units be located for a certain response time that is expected?
What evacuation routes should be selected in case of an emergency? Are there any obstructions? Will the road networks handle the traffic?

Respond via the closest emergency units and fastest routes
Provide details to response units on assets such as hydrants, electrical panels, hazardous materials, etc.
Utilize simulations to predict the movement of the disaster and identify the best evacuation routes and shelter zones
Assess damage post-disaster using aerial imagery and prioritize recovery actions
