Demonstration for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management using ALOS-2 data

Abstract

Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) can take data of the disaster stricken area widely, repeatedly even at night and under bad weather condition. These characteristics enable us to demonstrate disaster risk reduction and management for disaster using the satellite data in cooperation with national and local governments. This paper summarizes JAXA's activities and recent outcome of this demonstration.
