Japan Tsunami: full disaster extand maps from TerraSarX satellite

The Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (ZKI) presents a service of the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) of DLR. It provides a 24/7 service for the rapid provision, processing and analysis of satellite imagery during natural and environmental disasters, for humanitarian relief activities and civil security issues worldwide. The resulting satellite based information products are provided to relief organisations and public authorities and are also freely available on the ZKI website.

ZKI Mission

Apart from the downloadable maps, ZKI also provides an interactive web mapping component showing selected satellite imagery, making it possible to compare pre- and post disaster images. As work progresses, more interactive images will become available.
