Valuable insights from advanced data sets to prevent and plan for disasters
As disasters increase in frequency and severity, there is a growing need for effective planning and rapid response. Manual surveying large areas of devastation can take days.
Pre- and post-event satellite imagery enables first responders to make the most impact by quickly mapping passable routes to deliver critical services in the most efficient manner.
EUSI has worked with EU-funded emergency response and mapping services for over 17 years. Our unique ability to accept emergency orders 24/7 and deliver within up to 15 minutes after collection, combined with the unmatched resolution of our imagery (15 cm HD), positions us as the leader in space-based natural disaster and humanitarian crisis monitoring in Europe.
An advanced system for integrating activations from European municipalities into the collection plan and the comprehensive real-time weather monitoring by our operations department has lead to hundreds of successful data deliveries and countless lives saved.

Copernicus Activations
The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) uses satellite imagery and other geospatial data to provide free of charge mapping service in cases of natural disasters, human-made emergency situations and humanitarian crises throughout the world.
Copernicus EMS – Mapping is provided during all phases of the emergency management cycle and always free of charge for the users. The maps are produced in two temporal modes:
- Rapid Mapping consists of the provision of geospatial information within hours or days from the activation in support of emergency management activities immediately following a disaster.
- Risk & Recovery Mapping consists of the on-demand provision of geospatial information in support of Disaster Management activities not related to immediate response.
DOUBLESHOT
WITH UMBRA
Combined VHR Optical and SAR tasking provides a reliable solution for comprehensive insights, unaffected by weather conditions or daylight variations. By utilizing a single tasking source for both datasets, it ensures synchronized collections, which help in eliminating data gaps during monitoring missions. This seamless integration allows for continuous and accurate observation, enhancing the overall quality of the data. Additionally, the inclusion of SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology offers the advantage of penetrating clouds and capturing data in all weather conditions, providing deeper insights and complementing optical data for a more complete analysis.
Prevention & Planning
Knowing the extent of an emergency allows authorities to implement the best response and estimate its true cost. Satellite imagery rapidly enables this, regardless of where in the world the disaster has taken place. It is useful for understanding the effects of:
- Flood
- Fire
- Conflict
- Landslides
- Storms, hurricanes, and whirlwinds
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Volcanoes
Maxar WorldView Legion Satellites: The Successful Launch & Its Impact on EO Applications in Europe
WorldView Legion satellites collect at 30 cm-class resolution, offer 8 spectral bands (some of which are different from WorldView-3), and increase Maxar’s imaging capacity to 6.6 million km2 a day. What are the specifications of the imagery? What technical innovations make the satellites smaller yet as powerful as their predecessors? And how does their unprecedented revisit rate transform critical sectors like defence and disaster response? Learn about the technical parameters and real-world applications of Maxar WorldView Legion in this article.
Synchronised Collections of SAR and VHR Optical Satellite Imagery Revolutionise Flood Management
As climate change accelerates, the frequency and severity of flooding events are becoming increasingly alarming. In response, innovative tools like DoubleShot, developed by European Space Imaging in partnership with Umbra, are transforming flood management strategies. By combining the power of Very High Resolution (VHR) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical satellite imagery, DoubleShot delivers a comprehensive, weather-independent solution for near real-time flood mapping and monitoring.
EUSI Will Soon Offer Intraday Monitoring Across Europe After Maxar’s Second Successful Launch of WorldView Legion Satellites
With the successful launch of Maxar Intelligence’s second set of WorldView Legion satellites, European Space Imaging (EUSI) will soon offer up to eight daily collection opportunities in key latitudes across Europe and North Africa – a number that will increase after the final WorldView Legion satellites are launched and all six satellites are operational.
