NASA’s Earth Science Disasters Program and Earth Science Disaster Response Team provide NASA remote sensing expertise and a variety of products to end users. The NASA's ESD Disasters Program promotes the use of Earth observations to improve prediction of, preparation for, response to, and recovery from natural and technological disasters. Disaster applications and applied research on natural hazards support emergency preparedness leaders in developing mitigation approaches, such as early warning systems, and providing information and maps to disaster response and recovery teams.

 

When disasters occur, our researchers become providers and distributors of images, data, and damage assessments. The Disasters team and network of partners and volunteers assist with hazard assessment, evaluation of severity, and identification of impacts near vulnerable infrastructure, crops, and lifelines, and—especially in remote areas where observations are sparse provides guidance for action. For more information please visit https://disasters.nasa.gov/

 

Response Levels are grouped into 3 Tier Levels. 

Tier 0 - Monitoring

Tier 1 - Response/Recovery over Short Term

Tier 2 - Significant Contributions over Extended Period 

Tier 3 - Disaster is of Major National Importance
