Abstract

NASA Applied Science Program Disaster Applications Research/Response
Track: Disaster and Emergency Management
Authors: Tim Stough

The Natural Disaster Application Area uses NASA’s capabilities in space-borne, airborne, surface observations, derived data products, and modeling to enable and improve hazard forecasting, risk mitigation, and disaster response. Our 19 active projects apply these capabilities to strengthen resilience and provide decision support. We work with key partners to transfer NASA research results and technologies to applications and advance operational readiness.
