On-demand mapping





The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) provides information for emergency response and disaster risk management.




What we do



We provide timely and accurate geospatial information to support decision making for impending or ongoing natural and man-made disasters.

All our products and services are free of charge and support emergency response and disaster management activities, helping to mitigate the impact of disasters and save lives.

Who we are



CEMS is one of the six services of Copernicus, the Earth Observation component of the European Union’s space programme, and is implemented by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.



Our components



We have three components:

Early warning and monitoring

On-demand mapping

Exposure mapping



1. EARLY WARNING AND MONITORING

This component offers worldwide geospatial information through the continuous monitoring and forecasts for droughts, floods, and forest fires:

The European and Global Drought Observatory (EDO and GDO) provide drought-relevant information such as maps of indicators like the combined drought indicator (CDI).


EDO and GDO


The European and Global Flood Awareness Systems (EFAS and GloFAS) provide flood forecast that complement national systems and the Global Flood Monitoring (GFM) detects and monitors floods in near-real time.


EFAS

GloFAS


The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) monitors forest fire activity in near-real time in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and supports wildfire management efforts.

2. ON-DEMAND MAPPING

This component provides mapping products through activation services in case of natural disasters, human-made emergency and humanitarian crises through the world. It supports all phases of the disaster management cycle, from preparedness to emergency response and recovery.
The service can only be activated by authorised users, typically civil protection institutions.
Mapping activations can serve different purposes:

Preparedness (or pre-event) to reduce the impact of potential disasters through risk assessment;

Emergency response in order to rapidly assess and monitor the extent and impacts of a disaster during the immediate aftermath;

Recovery (or post-event) to assess the impact of a disaster and plan for recovery efforts.

3. EXPOSURE MAPPING

This component provides information on the presence of settlements and population using the Global Human Settlements Layer (GHSL) datasets. This information is derived from satellite and census data and allows the service to assess differences in global built-up surfaces since 1975.

The results of this component (estimation of building height and the resulting built-up volume) are used in the on-demand mapping and early warning and monitoring products. The GHSL open datasets are also at the core of the “degree of urbanisation training” endorsed by the European Commission and the United Nations.
