Dear readers,
We're glad to share with you the March 2020 UN-SPIDER Monthly Updates, and would like to make you aware of a new page we have set up on the Knowledge Portal to facilitate the discovery of examples of contributions of space technologies in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The page can be accessed at the following address: http://www.un-spider.org/advisory-support/emergency-support/covid-19.
If you are aware of any other example of the use of space technologies for addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, you can submit them to us for inclusion on the page using this form.
Enjoy the read!
