We are aiming to bring together people at the policy level with researchers, satellite service providers as well as users of satellites in disasters. We will discuss using satellites for disaster preparedness and response. By bringing all the stakeholders together, we hope to achieve better communication and integration when it comes to responding in emergency situations.
