The International Charter: Space and Major Disasters was activated on 15 October 2014 to provide satellite-based information on Hurricane Gonzalo in Bermuda. The mechanism was activated by UK Cabinet Office CCS on behalf of Bermuda Gov. Emergency Management Org.
Hurricane Gonzalo, a Category Four storm, is forecast to pass very close to Bermuda on 17 October 2014. The storm could have a potentially devastating impact on the islands.
All satellite image products will be published on the International Charter's website as soon as they become available.
