Seventh international workshop on remote sensing for disaster management

The Seventh international workshop on remote sensing for disaster management, to be held at the University of Texas in Austin, is the latest in a series that brings together remote sensing analysts, disaster researchers, and emergency managers to exchange ideas and research results related to the use of remote sensing in disaster management.

This year’s workshop will focus on remote sensing for the disaster cycle: preparedness, response, and recovery. The organizers encourage contributions that span all three of these components related to disaster management, and will be soliciting short papers from all participants. Group discussions during the workshop to develop strategies to further encourage the use of remote sensing in disaster management are planned.
