Resumen
Disasters are responsible for major socioeconomic damages. Global initiatives call for the
improvement of information technology infrastructure to better share data and advance
multinational collaboration.
The "Strengthening Disaster Risk Reduction Across the Americas: A Regional Summit on the Contributions of Earth Observations" held on September 3-8 in 2017 in Buenos Aires, Argentina strengthened the collective ability to share the many challenges of disaster risk reduction in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) while promoting the awareness and better use of earth observations (EO).
A simulation exercise took place during the summit. The exercise brought together government, emergency managers, earth observation data providers, academics, nongovernmental organizations, and commercial companies. The participants assessed the capabilities and needs of policymakers, regional and on-the-ground decision makers, and learned what information products can be produced, and when and how such products are available.
This ER describes the description and results of the simulated scenario including the postexercise activity that captured the lessons learned from the participants.
