DMC is the first Earth observation constellation, which, once fully implemented, will consist of five to seven low cost small satellites providing daily images for applications including global disaster monitoring.

By sharing space and ground assets, the members of the DMC consortium offer the unique benefit of access to a seamless global monitoring service.

Currently, the following countries have already launched a satellite as part of DMC Algeria, China, Nigeria, Turkey and United Kingdom.

Earth observation satellites have demonstrated their utility in providing data for a wide range of applications in disaster management.

In addition, provision is made for the IBM disaster recovery facility which supports the Fund's New York computing infrastructure ( 250,000).

It is being implemented through the cooperation of an international consortium in which each partner runs an independent small satellite mission that services national needs and also makes the imagery available to the global community.

The entity would implement the project primarily through external partners and (b) to contribute to the implementation of mandates of international initiatives, such as the International Charter Space and Major Disasters and GEOSS, specifically in the area of risk reduction and disaster mitigation.

1. We express our sincere condolences and sympathy to the victims of the disasters and uphold international solidarity against disasters.

The secretariat of ISDR uses satellite imagery in disaster risk reduction.

In addition to monitoring the size and number of certain species, other mechanisms of animal indication include monitoring the concentration of toxins in animal tissues, or monitoring the rate at which deformities arise in animal populations, or their behavior either directly in the field or in a lab.

Shifting from emergency disaster response to more proactive disaster prevention, risk reduction and mitigation will, in our view, be the key to success.

Some disasters are less likely than others, and some remedies are more costly than others.
