The annual conference will focus on how early-warning and monitoring data - on droughts, wildfires, floods, emergency mapping and population exposure - provided by the JRC's Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) can support a wide range of policies and help build disaster risk management strategies.
- During the morning, JRC experts will show how CEMS has been delivering early-warning and monitoring insights on floods, wildfires, and droughts.
- In the afternoon, practical sessions will provide an opportunity for attendees to learn how to use CEMS dashboards to extract personalised data that suits their needs.
Registrations will open in September.

Description
You're invited to the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) annual conference to discover how CEMS can help raise awareness of natural hazards, contribute to disaster risk strategies or help strengthen policy.
During the morning session, we will show how CEMS has been collaborating with EU DGs, Member and Participating States - and the international community - by delivering early-warning and monitoring insights on floods, wildfires, and droughts.
You'll discover how detailed, high-resolution emergency maps are helping to assess risks, prepare and react to disasters like earthquakes, cyclones, and landslides, among others. And how CEMS systems help identify hazard-vulnerable populations and support resilient urban planning.
In the afternoon, you'll be able to join hands-on workshops and learn how to source, personalise and use CEMS data.
Background information:
- The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) is part of Copernicus, the European Union's Earth observation programme.
- CEMS watches over Europe and the rest of the world to detect (signs of) disasters by using and modelling satellite information and ground observations.
- Scientists working at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre are responsible for implementing CEMS.
