Earth Observation data and data products provide crucial information for disaster risk management and emergency response. Many datasets are available free of charge and can be downloaded from the web. Others are available as free web-services. The UN-SPIDER team has compiled relevant data sources for you. You can search for space-based information for different hazard types at the UN-SPIDER database on data-sources. Below you will find complementary databases and compilations of geospatial data.
