Reducing Disaster Impacts

https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/what-we-do/disasters Disasters happen when a hazard—like a hurricane, earthquake, or volcano—strikes an exposed and vulnerable group of people. When disasters strike, NASA works with government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private sector partners to provide insights that inform decision-making and reduce impacts on lives and livelihoods. The new Disaster Response Coordination System provides trusted, timely, and actionable science to aid organizations in actively responding to disasters. The System integrates relationships with disaster science and technology initiatives, tapping into the agency’s end-to-end Earth science capabilities and unifying expertise across NASA centers, creating skilled response communities through coordination, engagement, and learning.
