Today’s new generation of environmental satellites and the international partnerships in place for sharing their data and resulting product applications contribute significantly to building resiliency to extreme weather events. Resiliency to extreme events is being built by better remote sensing and forecasting capabilities made possible by the new and improved satellite data products which help mitigate damage to life and property and aid in the recovery process. In addition, resiliency of these satellite systems themselves is being increased by the advanced technology incorporated in the design of the environmental satellites and by international agreements which facilitate their operation and data access among nations. Panelists from the US and partnering nations will describe how satellite information is used to improve their observation and forecasting capabilities for extreme weather events. A limited # of boxed lunches provided by Ball Aerospace and Technology Corporation., Integrated Systems Solutions, Inc. & Science and Technology Corporation.
