Real-time Remote Sensing for
Early Warning &
Mitigation of Disasters and Epidemics:
The Kamal Ewida Earth Observatory
Project End Users
Each of the following-named end-users, and others to be subsequently identified and welcomed as collaborators, will have access to the satellite data from the NATO SfP Kamal Ewida Earth Observatory for time-critical event monitoring, not only for ex post facto disaster management; but also for proactive vulnerability assessment, early warning, disaster mitigation, humanitarian relief, emergency response and facilitation of post calamity reconstruction.
Moreover, faculties at Cairo University and Al Azhar University will have access to the real-time and archival data and associated analytical software to support multi-disciplinary scientific research addressing disaster mitigation, best disaster management practices, environmental sustainability and sustainable development, short-term training for ministerial staff and student instruction, with an emphasis on incorporating remote sensing fundamentals and applications (especially for disaster management) and real-time data management within the curricula for the purpose of preparing the next generation of technologically-fluent researchers and decision makers.
