Abstract
Geo-Information, the key to Prevention, Planning & Response

Man-made or natural, one thing is for certain, the number of events occurring around the world resulting in the loss of life, infrastructure, crops and assets has increased and is showing little sign of abating. Geospatial information can help plan and help implement preventative measures but in those instances where disasters take place, then access to information is essential both before and after the event to assess, plan and execute recovery, relief and rebuild efforts. This presentation will showcase DigitalGlobe solutions aimed at better understanding the different environments around the world and leverage content collected from our satellite constellation to extract and derive actionable information to save time, resources and lives. Learn about our Global Basemap, Advanced elevation and world largest accessible commercial global archive. See examples of our FirstLook product, providing on demand access to pre and post disaster imagery and see how we can leverage the crowd to disseminate big data in a fraction of the time of conventional methods, which in some cases can make all the difference.
