Mapping for Crisis Management DG ECHO Daily Maps and Situation Maps July – September 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. 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 Daily Maps) and on-demand products (ECHO Situation Maps/Infographics). Besides contributing to identifying high-risk areas, helping in prioritize interventions and facilitate the communication with stakeholders, these products also represent a tool used by the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) at the Director General European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) for its daily activity of monitoring disasters occurring all over the globe. The function of the ECML Mapping Team is a crucial and challenging one that requires a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach along with the employment of various highly specialized skills and expertise. This report is the third one of its kind (previous ones, JRC133755, and JRC136897 on the first and second quarter of 2023).
