Disaster Drill : Operational Framework for Public-Private Satellite Integration in Large-Scale Emergencies

Abstract

This paper introduces the “Disaster Drill,” an integrated public-private satellite operation exercise designed for large-scale emergency scenarios. The drill, coordinated by the Consortium for Satellite Earth Observation (CONSEO), confirmed that satellite data is highly effective for rapid damage assessment and for mitigating secondary disasters, underscoring its critical role in disaster management. Furthermore, the exercise demonstrated that public-private collaboration enhances the societal impact of space technologies, paving the way for broader applications in future disaster preparedness and response.
