Mapping for Crisis Management
DG-ECHO Daily/Situation Maps
January – March 2023
Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is a complex and interdisciplinary field that requires accurate, reliable visual products and reporting material to support the decision making process. In the disaster cycle there are two key phases to consider: before and after the event. Each phase consists of various components. The pre-occurrence phase focuses on risk assessment, prevention and preparedness, while the post-occurrence phase encompasses response to the event, damage assessment, and recovery/restoration.
The main objective of this quarterly report is to show how the European Crisis Management Laboratory (ECML) Mapping Team at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) plays a key role in delineating all the components of those phases with its daily situational awareness reports (ECHO Daily Flash and ECHO Daily Maps) and on-demand products (ECHO Situation Maps/Infographics). The team uses a variety of data sources (e.g. satellite imagery, geographical and ancillary data, statistical repositories), to produce maps and situational reports that depict the spatial distribution of hazards, vulnerabilities, as well as capacities in coping with them. In so doing it collaborates with experts from other fields inside and outside the European Commission.
