Dear colleagues,

How beneficial are geo-information products for disaster and risk
management? Assessing the operational as well as strategic impact of
geoinformation (e.g. risk maps, early warning, damage maps) is a central
question in this context. It can only be solved by integrating the
knowledge and experience of end-users involved in emergency response,
disaster preparedness or  risk reduction activities, on an operational or
strategic level.

In the context of the VALID project, the project team has issued a survey
which is online on  http://www.un-spider.org/validsurvey. We invite you to
share with us your opinion on up to ten geo-information products that have
been shortlisted in a previous user survey. If you wish to give your
opinion in this user appraisal, kindly do so until 11 April 2013.

VALID is an ongoing project jointly carried out by UNOOSA/UN-SPIDER and the
Joint Board of Geospatial Information Societies (JB GIS). The objective of
VALID is to produce a publication to give evidence of the benefits which
can be realized by applying geoinformation to disaster and risk management.

If you have any questions about the VALID project and the user appraisal,
feel free to get in touch with Dr. Robert Backhaus
(robert.backhaus at unoosa.org).

Please feel free to share this call for participation with your colleagues
as well.

Kind regards,
the UN-SPIDER team
