Join the one-day conference organised by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) taking place online on 13 October 2023.
You’re invited to a unique event showcasing how the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) can help raise awareness of natural hazards, contribute to disaster risk strategies or help strengthen policy. While crafted with policy officers in mind, this event will also offer valuable information for media, researchers, practitioners and others looking for ways to integrate disaster risk management (DRM) data in their work activities and justify its importance.
During interactive morning workshops JRC experts will show how CEMS has been collaborating with EU DGs, Member and Participating States – and the international community – by delivering early-warning and monitoring insights on floods, wildfires, and droughts.
They will also share how detailed, high-resolution emergency maps are helping to assess risks, prepare and react to disasters like earthquakes, cyclones, and landslides, among others. And how CEMS systems help identify hazard-vulnerable populations and support resilient urban planning.
Renowned guest speakers soon to be announced will also join for a shorter intervention to share how they have/are benefiting from CEMS products/services. In the afternoon, you’ll be able to join hands-on workshops and learn how to source, personalise and use CEMS data.
________________________
The conference will consist of a theoretical session in the morning and a hands-on activity in the afternoon:
- Theoretical (morning) session: explore how data on droughts, wildfires, floods, emergency mapping and population exposure can support a wide range of policies and help build disaster risk management strategies
- Hands-on (afternoon) session: learn how to source, personalise and use CEMS data efficiently,
It is compulsory to register in order to participate in the practical afternoon sessions.
The event is completely free of charge.
