Abstract: More than 1.5 million children and their families in over 130 countries around the world are currently receiving support from the humanitarian relief organization SOS Children's Villages International. The Department of Geo-Risks and Civil Security at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has been supporting the organization in the use of Earth Observation technology in order to develop a comprehensive emergency and disaster management concept. The study focused on disaster preparedness and early warning, emergency mapping, and humanitarian technologies as a whole. Pre-operational emergency mapping services, as well as automated services for satellite-based fire and flood information, were developed and tested. Our use case concentrates on the emergency mapping activation for tropical cyclone DINEO, which destroyed an SOS children’s village in Mozambique in February 2017, and the related satellite-derived damage assessment.

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
