Abstract
The Disaster Monitoring and Emergency Response Service(DIMERS) project was kicked off in 2017 in China, with the purpose to improve timely responsive service of the institutions involved in the management of natural disasters and man-made emergency situations with the timely and high-quality products derived from Space-based, Air-based and the in-situ Earth observation. The project team brought together a group of top universities and research institutions in the field of Earth observations as well as the operational institute in typical disaster services at national level. The project will bridge the scientific research and the response services of massive catastrophe in order to improve the emergency response capability of China and provide scientific and technological support for the implementation of the national emergency response strategy.
Highlights
China is facing the increasing challenges from massive natural disasters at the background of the global warming, especially earthquake, typhoon, flood and drought, with serious casualties and losses

The DIMERS has chosen earthquake and secondary geological disasters and meteorological & hydrological disasters as the major study target, will investigate the observation needs of space disaster monitoring and emergency response, and develop the key technology of disaster monitoring and emergency response based on demanding of disaster emergency response services
Summary
China is facing the increasing challenges from massive natural disasters at the background of the global warming, especially earthquake, typhoon, flood and drought, with serious casualties and losses. These natural disasters have their complex developing processes and mechanisms, of which may introduce severe secondary hazards. In China, remote sensing monitoring and assessment systems for massive natural disasters have been successively developed. Compared with the leading international standards, the application of the key technologies of collaborative monitoring and assessment is slightly weak, and the capability of spatial information services and emergency response decision-making is not quite sufficient. The proposal was funded by Ministry of Science and Technology of China
