GEOSS is helping to reduce risk over the long term by providing a better understanding of the relationship between natural disasters and climate change. By making it possible to integrate different types of disaster-related data and information from diverse sources, GEOSS aims to strengthen analysis and enable informed decision making for disaster response and risk reduction. Satellite images are the key information resource of land-related parameters. Once disaster occurred, there are several questions addressed: the first one is how to get the latest satellite images from governmental agencies and private companies that are distributed around the world efficiently? The second one must be where can a decision maker find the historical satellite images from a specific portal in order to proceed some post-disaster recovery works.

Without much surprises, the reasons of most of the SBA users couldn’t find much available resources from GEOSS
