Help Shape the Future of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
The UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is your one-stop platform for resources on space-based disaster risk management. It provides: • Links and guidance on satellite data sources and applications • Recommended practices and step-by-step methodologies • Training materials and tutorials • Case studies and user stories from real-world applications • News and updates on UN-SPIDER activities, events, and global developments
Since its last major review in 2012, the Portal has evolved significantly. Now, we want to hear from you.
We invite you to take part in the 2025 evaluation of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal!
Humans experience a wide array of disasters that generally fall into two categories: natural disasterssuch as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc., and unnatural, or man-made, disasters such as wars, explosions, wildfires, chemical spills, etc. Such disasters wreak havoc and provoke extensive and large-scale devastation, and carry extremely serious financial repercussions for nations, organizations, and individuals.
The study of dynamics of disasters is an important and worthwhile endeavour, with huge benefits for everyone. The DOD 2019 Conference aims to bring together experts in order to share the latest findings on natural and unnatural disasters.
Machine Learning plays a pivotal role in the Dynamics of Disasters. Click here to view the Machine Learning tutorial for DOD 2019.
The invitation is extended for those studying topics related to disasters to submit an abstract and paper and everyone to register to attend.
