GMES the Vision

• GMES - Global Monitoring for Environment and
  Security
• A sustainable and autonomous capacity shall
  provide reliable and timely Earth observation
  information services enabling effective policy
  support for the efficient management of
  environment and security through innovative
  technology in and for Europe, serving European
  citizens, delivering considerable socio-economic
  benefits in various areas and contributing to the
  fulfilment of international commitments.

What is GMES?

• GMES is the European solution to respond to the
  needs of citizens in Europe to access reliable
  information on the status of their environment
• GMES addresses in particular the European policy
  makers need of better monitoring the earth
  system for targeted environmental and security
  management
• GMES is an important European asset for
  international co-operation and partnerships
• GMES provides technological and scientific
  opportunities
• GMES will provide
• Core Services - standardized multi-purpose
  information common to a broad range of EU
  policy-relevant application and support to
  European institutional actors in developing,
  implementing, or monitoring European policies or
  in their participation in international
  commitmentscurrent focus on Land, Emergency
  Response, Ocean, Atmosphere and Security
• Downstream Services - serve specific (trans-)
  national, regional, or local information needs.
  The corresponding information products may be
  derived from products of the Core Services or be
  based on data directly provided through the
  observation infrastructure

GMES EURORISK

• A progressive development and implementation of a
  complete portfolio of operational services for
  risk management based on complementary projects

GMES Risk Services and the Flood Directive

• The Flood Directive aims to reduce the risk of
  damage to human health, environment and
  infrastructure

Risk EOS Service Portfolio
Flood Directive Requirements

• description of the flood which have occurred
  in the past
• (Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment / Article 4)
• Members States shall prepare flood maps and
  indicative flood damage maps, hereinafter flood
  risk maps,
• (Article 7)
• Member States shall make the preliminary flood
  risk assessment, the flood risk maps and
  available to the public
• (Article 14)

Conclusions

• Risk EOS Flood Risk Analysis services builds on
  Earth Observation/remote sensing expertise and
  combines it with modeling techniques and ground
  based data
• Seen as complementary expertise to hydrology,
  water management, risk management, spatial
  planning
• EO based services can bring a valuable benefit
• Harmonisation standardisation
• Comparison of cross-border data
• Reliable quality across Europe
• Cost effective production
• Preliminary analyses
• Updates of detailed maps plans
• Will not substitute enhanced methods/tools, but
  offers additional benefits
• Member States funding (national, regional, local)
• Operational methods are available already now!
