Abstract

An effort is made herein to demonstrate advanced terrain motion products obtained via operational SAR interferometric services running on the Geohazards Exploitation Platform to support the World Bank's City Resilience Program. The objective is to highlight the validity of medium resolution terrain motion products for the provision of systematic terrain motion analysis to operational teams, allowing for the prompt identification of potential hazardous phenomena over wide areas. The challenge is to inform the City Resilience Program and its connected operational teams about urban hazards in a rapid manner in order to capably guide their investment plans in resilience. Such services, combined with tailored capacity building activities, pave the way for the use of a platform-based InSAR solution directly by EO practitioners and end-users for the purpose of monitoring cities according to various concerns. The introduction of online tools expands and scales the skills of technical staff of local authorities and relevant agencies while increasing their acceptance of Earth Observation and its solutions.
