Safety

Safety affects everybody in society. The management of public safety is primarily the responsibility of local government. However, regional agreements have also been made concerning the deployment of the fire service, disaster control, crisis management and emergency medical help.

The sector already makes intensive use of data from navigation and communication satellites. However, the use of Earth-observation data is still in its infancy. The added value is clear with respect to the information provided in crisis situations. And it is important to quickly provide all parties involved with the same, correct information.

If you are curious to know whether satellite applications could have added value in your work environment, please contact:
