The NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) Spatial Analytics Platform and related Geographic Information System (GIS) capabilities are supporting NASA disaster mapping and a new landslide citizen science activity.
The NASA Disasters Program puts NASA scientific research relevant to disasters into the hands of end users in the emergency management community, who can use it to help make better decisions and save lives and property. The NCCS-hosted NASA Disasters Mapping Portal facilitates timely access to reliable, relevant data and data products. It has aided emergency responses as varied as Midwestern U.S. flooding, California mudslides and wildfires, and a volcanic eruption on Vanuatu in the South Pacific.
