Abstract
Abstract. With the rapid development of the Remote Sensing (RS) technology, Remote Sensing Services for Emergency Monitoring (RSSEM) are playing a more and more important role in the field of emergency management, where the collaborative RS approaches (including such as Space-Air-Ground platforms) can provide the decision-makers a quick access to the detailed, real-time information about the emergencies. However, there are still some problems in the current mechanism of RSSEM, for example, the inappropriate choices of the collaborative RS approaches, the miscellaneous procedures and so on. It is urgent to formulate a collaborative RS emergency plan for regulating the applications of the RS monitoring approaches in order to be well prepared for the emergency management. In our studies, creating a good collaborative RS emergency plan is the main research objective. This paper is divided into four parts. The Part Ⅰ gives a brief introduction about the research background. The Part Ⅱ investigates four case studies to analyze the applications of the RS technologies under the guidance of the available RS related emergency plans, and then points out the existing problems in the mechanism of the RSSEM. The Part Ⅲ proposes our suggestions for formulating the collaborative RS emergency plan to explore the countermeasures of the problems pointed out in the Part Ⅱ. The last part concludes this paper and discusses the future work of the collaborative RS emergency plan.
Highlights
In recent years, various types of emergencies have occurred in a high frequency all over the world including China, which seriously affects the social stability and arouses severe challenges to the emergency management
With the features of fast acquisition, various sensors ability and advanced Space-Air-Ground platforms, the Remote Sensing Services for Emergency Monitoring (RSSEM) are becoming indispensable for the emergency management, which can scientifically assist the emergency decision-making by providing the decision-makers with quick access to the detailed, real-time information about the emergencies
According to the problems reflected by the four case studies and from the point of view of the quick match and the efficient deployment about the optimum Remote Sensing (RS) monitoring approaches, this chapter proposes suggestions for formulating collaborative RS emergency plan to guarantee the efficiency of the emergency management
Summary
Various types of emergencies have occurred in a high frequency all over the world including China, which seriously affects the social stability and arouses severe challenges to the emergency management. With the rapid development of the RS technology, there is no dynamic update in these plans, leading to the mismatch between the emergency response and the current RS approaches. This means there is still a distance between the lagging emergency plan and the actual demand for the various disasters and emergencies. It is crucial and urgent to study the collaborative RS emergency plan to improve the mechanism of the RSSEM in China. The reasonable collaborative RS emergency plan will improve the collaborative effect of various RS technologies and provide strong support for different stages of emergency management
