OGC Data for Disasters User and Provider Readiness Guides

The User and Provider Readiness Guides were developed as part of the OGC Disaster Pilot 2021, which aimed to bring scalable cloud-based systems and associated technologies together to support the end-to-end flow of information within all phases of a disaster management situation. The two guides are companions, with the User Guide focused on the end-users while the Provider Guide aims to support those contributing data and information.

Both guides showcase three Case Studies to demonstrate how technology can be brought together:

• Landslide, flooding and pandemic impacts within the Rimac and Piura river basins in Peru.
• Flooding hazards and pandemic impacts within the Red River basin in Manitoba, Canada.
• Integration of Health and Earth Observation data and services for pandemic response in Louisiana in the United States.
