Dear colleagues,
we're happy to share with you two brand-new UN-SPIDER publications!
1) The latest version of our UN-SPIDER Newsletter. Issue #2/2013 focuses on
satellite-based information for disaster response. We invite you to take a
closer look at the usefulness of Earth Observation data for disaster
response - by presenting international actors who provide such information
but also by telling success stories from UN-SPIDER’s partners in Iran and
Pakistan dealing with floods and droughts. In the interview with Dr. Stefan
Voigt you can additionally find out more about DLR's Center for Satellite
Based Crisis Information (ZKI) and their important work.
