Valuable insights from advanced data sets to prevent and plan for disasters
As disasters increase in frequency and severity, there is a growing need for effective planning and rapid response. Manual surveying large areas of devastation can take days.
Pre- and post-event satellite imagery enables first responders to make the most impact by quickly mapping passable routes to deliver critical services in the most efficient manner.
EUSI has worked with EU-funded emergency response and mapping services for over 17 years. Our unique ability to accept emergency orders 24/7 and deliver within up to 15 minutes after collection, combined with the unmatched resolution of our imagery (15 cm HD), positions us as the leader in space-based natural disaster and humanitarian crisis monitoring in Europe.
An advanced system for integrating activations from European municipalities into the collection plan and the comprehensive real-time weather monitoring by our operations department has lead to hundreds of successful data deliveries and countless lives saved.

Copernicus Activations
The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) uses satellite imagery and other geospatial data to provide free of charge mapping service in cases of natural disasters, human-made emergency situations and humanitarian crises throughout the world.
Copernicus EMS – Mapping is provided during all phases of the emergency management cycle and always free of charge for the users. The maps are produced in two temporal modes:
- Rapid Mapping consists of the provision of geospatial information within hours or days from the activation in support of emergency management activities immediately following a disaster.
- Risk & Recovery Mapping consists of the on-demand provision of geospatial information in support of Disaster Management activities not related to immediate response.
Prevention & Planning
Knowing the extent of an emergency allows authorities to implement the best response and estimate its true cost. Satellite imagery rapidly enables this, regardless of where in the world the disaster has taken place. It is useful for understanding the effects of:
- Flood
- Fire
- Conflict
- Landslides
- Storms, hurricanes, and whirlwinds
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Volcanoes

Satellite Imagery for Emergency Management
The use of satellite imagery for emergency response and management is invaluable. Both optical and SAR images help rescuers save lives when disasters happen, assist with damage assessments, and in many cases contribute to successfully preventing and predicting emergencies. Which events can be prevented? How exactly do first responders use satellite images? When are they better than other methods? We have summarised our 20+ years of experience in this article.
Satellite Imagery as a Valuable Tool for the New Common Agricultural Policy 2023–2027
On 1 January 2023, the new Common Agricultural Policy for years 2023–2027 entered into force. Hand in hand with the provided subsidies goes the necessity for monitoring and controls, which falls to the individual Member States. Therefore, an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective source of data is needed. Such source is Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. It allows you to conduct in-depth analysis of plant and soil conditions, map land use at wide scales with incredible detail and accuracy, and ensure that agricultural goals are being met.
