The number of EO satellites is growing rapidly, doubling in the last 10 years. Their data are increasingly integrated into comprehensive services such as the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, which offers full-cycle support for disasters in Europe and internationally. Nevertheless, widespread operational application of satellite EO to disasters concerns response and rapid mapping, focused on hazard information rather than risk reduction. New satellite missions offer increased capabilities, and organizations such as CEOS are initiating pilots with users for risk reduction and resilience building. Financing the value-added component remains a challenge.
