Abstract

The objectives of the Second World Congress on Emergency and Disaster Medicine are closely aligned with those of the International Academy of Astronautics' Studies Committee. The fundamental concern that we share is that of reducing human suffering in the wake of life-threatening natural forces, man-made disasters, or emergencies experienced in the course of daily life. The overarching objective is to reduce to a minimum a population's vulnerability to disasterous occurrences by anticipating exposures accurately and setting in place wise precautionary systems.The contribution made by space-borne systems is essentially that they can provide accurate information rapidly, clearly and dependably over wide areas.
