Webinar – The role of geospatial data within the civil protection system
| 17 November 2022
Geographical information is vital for civil protection and disaster management actors’ day-to-day activities. This webinar focused on demonstrating how geodata leads to building stronger responses for civil protection actions. Concrete case studies from the European Commission (Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations) and National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies were presented and the audience raised their questions in a dedicated session.
