A Holistic Case-Study Approach to Applying Satellite Remote Sensing to Disaster Management

“The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) has been supporting the effort to collect good practices for applying satellite remote sensing technologies to disaster management. This book is a step in this direction and provides good examples of how to apply satellite remote sensing to disaster management for those who are working in disaster risk reduction, such as emergency responders, policy makers, administrative officials, researchers and students. This book is also a good commentary on Sentinel Asia (SA). Although SA is a collective initiative in the Asia-Pacific region, its philosophy, strategies, results, and lessons learned can be extended to other regions. This book is one of the achievements of SA.”
