Case Study: Emergency Response Challenge

During summer 2012, torrential rain fell over Africa for weeks, causing

severe flooding of the Niger River. About 485,000 people were affected

and Niamey, Agadez and Dosso were the hardest-hit cities.

The French Civil Protection activated the International Charter ‘Space

and Major Disasters’ (Charter) on 28th August to help in organizing an

evaluation and recognition mission to assess the state of infrastructure

in Niger (bridge, roads…).

As the French member of the Charter, the CNES (French Space Agency)

was responsible for the coordination of the different data suppliers and

the delivery of information to the end user.

The International Charter

helped by Pléiades and

TerraSAR-X Reactivity in

Disaster Damage

Assessment

Challenge: Support rapid damage

assessment and rescue planning in case of

natural disaster.

Solution & Results: Delivery of

Pléiades and TerraSAR-X images within 24h

of the request and SPOT 5 archive image as

reference layer.

Benefits: Good knowledge of remaining

infrastructure, immediately assisting the work

of rescue teams.

Applicability: When a natural disaster

occurs, reactivity is key to rapidly assessing

damage extent and supporting rescue

operations.

In such cases, Airbus Defence and Space’s

Constellation of satellites provides an efficient

response thanks to its daily revisit

capability and its weather independence.

Solution & Results

On 29th August at 13:07, CNES issued a Pléiades tasking request. At

12:16 on 30th August, the first Pléiades images were acquired and

delivered to SERTIT four hours later. The same day, a TerraSAR-X

StripMap scene was acquired and delivered, providing an accurate

situation overview, despite the heavy cloud cover.

SERTIT extracted the flood extent, mapped the road network and

highlighted points of interest for emergency services such as hospitals,

airports and passable roads. These damage assessment maps were

issued less than 5h after image delivery.

The maps were distributed the same day, supporting emergency

operations planning and management. A SPOT 5 archive image was

delivered as a reference image.

Solution & Results Benefits Challenge

Benefits

• Maps gave precise and up-to-date information on the disaster

impact extent. Humanitarian organizations were immediately able

to start rescuing and sheltering people as they knew which

infrastructures could be relied on.

• Geographical information layers were used to gauge the size of

the overflow and to monitor movements of refugees during and

after the flooding.

• Finally, the maps allowed a better disaster forecast in a region

regularly affected by natural risks: satellite-based maps are of

great interest to Niger authorities in risk management.

Challenge

In July 2014, a fire broke out at Libya’s largest fuel storage facility in

Tripoli. Firefighters had almost put out the fire when shrapnel hit and

ignited a second tank.

Residents living within 2-3 miles of the facility where urged to evacuate

due to possible explosions; however, fighting by rival militias in the area

made this difficult.

After the fire was extinguished, the damage needed to be assessed.

Solution & Results

The easiest, fastest and safest way to get a good overall view of the

damage was to use Airbus DS’s Instant Tasking service.

With full user access to the satellites and imagery collected as soon

as the next satellite pass, Instant Tasking is the absolute fastest way

to acquire and receive new imagery over an area.

On July 29th, an order was placed in GeoStore for Instant Tasking

over the fuel storage facility in Tripoli. A little over 12 hours later, the

imagery was ready for download and use by disaster responders.

1:2500 scale, July 30th (10:44 AM)

Benefits

• Rapid access to new imagery gives disaster responders an up-

to-date view of the affected area very quickly, allowing them to

plan and act fast.

• With Instant Tasking, disaster response teams control the joystick

of the Airbus DS satellites. A few clicks of the mouse allows users

to place an order for imagery to be automatically acquired and

delivered straight to their desktop or ArcGIS Online account.

• Giving the user full control eliminates the delay in the traditional

ordering process and ensures 24/7 access to pre- and post-

disaster imagery.

Case Study: Agriculture Disaster Management

SPOT 6 helps the Insurance

Sector in case of Agricultural

Disasters

Challenge: In case of agricultural

disasters, insurance companies require a

rapid damage assessment.

Solution & Results: Satellite data

provides a broad overview of the affected

areas and supports on-ground assessments.

Benefits: Improved coordination of the

evaluation of agricultural disasters on the

ground and rapid help for affected farmers.

Applicability: Optimising the time

insurance experts spend in the field reduces

the overall timeframe for the global evaluation,

expedites the initiation of the compensation

process and optimises costs for the insurance

company.

Challenge

Each year, farmers protect their harvest by contracting a multi-risk

insurance to cover potential losses from hazards such as frost, hail or

floods. In case of an agricultural disaster, insurance companies need to

detect and assess the damage on the ground rapidly to facilitate the

initiation of the compensation process.

The global insurance company Generali contracted Airbus Defence and

Space for the delivery of biophysical maps (canopy description) to assist

loss adjusters to better scout damaged fields and target priority areas to

be appraised.

Solution & Results

To support the assessment of fields that have suffered damage, Airbus

Defence and Space provided Generali with biophysical maps derived

from SPOT 6 images acquired at decisive agronomic periods.

After digitalization of the fields on the SPOT 6 images and collecting

information on the crop, biophysical processing was done using

OverlandTM.

A map representing the share of green vegetation cover was produced

for each field and delivered to Generali within just one week.

Solution & Results Benefits Challenge

Benefits

• SPOT 6 & SPOT 7 provide a daily revisit capability anywhere on

Earth, ensuring rapid delivery of images for time-critical applications.

• The customer can clearly detect and accurately locate the damaged

areas to be checked.

• The broad overview of impacted areas, their location and the detailed

information help optimise the efficiency of the insurance service.

Generali now plans to establish a prevalent use of these maps for all

disaster assessment situations they will face in the coming years.

Case Study: Improved Construction Safety

TerraSAR-X-based Surface

Movement Monitoring for

Improved Safety in Urban

Areas

Challenge: Prevent endangerment of

infrastructure and human lives due to surface

movements.

Solution & Results: Space-based

monitoring with TerraSAR-X complements

terrestrial measurement campaigns.

Benefits: Improved understanding of the

surface movement and support of the

implementation of countermeasures.

Applicability: TerraSAR-X-based surface

movement monitoring can complement

terrestrial measurements and hence supports

authorities and engineering companies with

the timely detection of risks to human lives and

infrastructure.

Subsequently TerraSAR-X can be used to

monitor the effects of countermeasures taken

by the authorities.

Challenge

Ground subsidence due to over-extraction of underground water has

become a serious problem in Beijing, China. The ensuing surface

movement endangers the local population and infrastructure.

A terrestrial surveying programme was established to monitor the

subsidence and highlight potential risk areas. However, due to restricted

budgets this levelling network can only provide point information about

subsidence, it does not deliver a continuous and sufficiently extended

understanding of the entire deformation area.

Solution & Results

Airbus Defence and Space conducted a monitoring campaign using

TerraSAR-X data. The study verified surface subsidence of up to 150mm

per year, which correlates strongly with the levelling results.

Additionally, the overall subsidence phenomena could be derived:

the surface movement extends over a large area, but subsidence

distribution is inhomogeneous with parts of very strong horizontal

surface displacement. These areas face an increased risk of damages to

infrastructure due to inhomogeneous structural stress - valuable

information for initialising counteractions.

Solution & Results Benefits Challenge

Benefits

• Wide-area overview allows the identification of non-predicted hot-

spots of surface movements

• Very high sensitivity to even small-scale changes (milimetre range)

• Processing techniques adaptable to surface conditions

• Better identification of hazard zones and timely implementation of

countermeasures

• Reliable and continuous subsidence monitoring with small time

intervals (11 days), further improved with TerraSAR-X / PAZ

constellation (4 and 7 days)
