The expert group agreed that the international space coordination body recommended by the Action Team, the proposed DMISCO, would provide such a coordinating mechanism.

It has been set up to identify the space based information that is regularly used by humanitarian agencies when anticipating or responding to disasters.

The view was expressed that the proposed disaster management international space coordination entity would fill the gaps in the coordination of space based services for the management of natural disasters and would complement the International Charter Space and Major Disasters for the phases of prevention and rehabilitation.

Finally, the lack of awareness among the disaster management community of the potentials of space systems to provide vital contributions in areas such as risk assessment, hazard zonation, damage assessment and emergency communications is a further constraint.

(a) Recommendation 1. An international space coordination body for disaster management, provisionally identified as DMISCO, should be established.

The proposed DMISCO should be seen as the first step in obtaining information on how to access and use space based services for risk reduction and disaster management.

This is particularly important given the unique characteristics of the space environment and space technology.

While the European Space Agency advocates the peaceful development of space assets and the peaceful use of space. There is an underlying contradiction between the EU space policy and the NATO space defence policy that needs to be addressed.

One of the key benefits expected from the implementation of the entity is the bridging of gaps between the space service providers and the disaster management community, through appropriate capacity and awareness building measures.

Space research

Capacity building and strengthening of institutional arrangements at all levels is key to increasing the ability of organizations and individuals to effectively use space based services for disaster preparedness, response and recovery.

Such a body would have the mandate to provide the necessary means to optimize the access to and use of current and future space based services for disaster management.

The view was expressed that the level of interest in the draft space assets protocol was indicative of the importance attached to the formulation of a legal instrument able to facilitate the private financing of space activities to the benefit of commercial, as well as public, space applications.

The Russian Federation's space capabilities ensure a complete cycle of space activities from the development and design of space facilities to obtaining the results required to meet the country's needs and its effective operation on the world market.

The overall benefit from the proposed DMISCO would be building up the abilities of Member States in the use of space based services to support the management of disaster events in an effective manner, besides providing a coordinating agency for sharing experience and initiating collaborative efforts.

Indeed, China s military use of space is increasingly dependent and interlinked with civilian and commercial space activities, infrastructure, and human capital.

In addition, the deployment and use of space weapons will seriously threaten the security of space assets and risks harming the biosphere of the earth.
