Dear colleagues,

Taking into consideration the role of early warning systems in minimizing
damages and losses in case of disasters, UN-SPIDER is organizing the United
Nations/Germany Expert Meeting on the Use of Space-based Information in
Early Warning Systems with the financial support from the Government of
Germany.

The main objectives of the expert meeting are to raise awareness concerning
the most recent advances regarding the use of space-based information in
early warning systems and disaster preparedness; to identify and
systematize areas where space-based information can improve the
functionality of existing early warning systems; to identify knowledge
management strategies that can facilitate access to and use of space-based
information in early warning and preparedness; and to bridge the space and
the early warning communities.

Date: 26-27 June 2013
Place: Bonn, Germany
Participants: The expert meeting is expected to bring together a selected
number of participants from national, regional, and international public
and private organizations representing the space as well as the
disaster-risk and emergency response communities.

countries, who have expressed the need for financial support, will be
offered financial support to attend the expert meeting.
