USGS Charter Roles and Responsibilities USGS is a Participating Agency USGS has not been able to actually sign the Charter Impact: The only thing USGS is not able to participate in is voting on new members USGS is the lead US agency NOAA has nominal involvement NASA has been inquiring about joining NASA currently contributes datasets on ad hoc basis, delivered via USGS systems USGS Member of Board, Executive Secretariat, Communications, and Training group As of Oct 2015, USGS will serve as the Charter lead agency for 6-month term

CEOS Working Group on Disasters (WDG) Focus is Disaster Risk Management 3 pilots to start this year Floods Seismic Volcanoes (M. Poland Hawaii Volcano Observatory – Co-Chair) Data Coordination team – Brenda Jones Requesting data for the complete disaster cycle

USGS Hazards Proposal - in work Many possibilities!! Future proposal will likely focus on potential expanded support for USGS Hazards Science activities, including Hazards role in GEO and CEOS Disaster Working Group Image collection and AOI requirements (CMT) High-resolution commercial, SAR, UAS, aerial photos, etc Data ingest, storage, and archive management (HDDS) Ingest, archive, and data management Web hosting and access management Data portal hosting and single-point user access (HDDS) Remotely sensed imagery Other geospatial datasets (e.g. DEM, US Topo, ground photos) Information service links (e.g. stream gages, fire perimeters...) Science products (e.g. maps, data, analysis, publications…)

Activating the Charter: Authorized Users (AU) The only bodies authorized to directly request the Charter to be activated are the Authorized Users - AUs (typically civil protection agencies, governmental relief organizations, or other authorities with a mandate related to disaster management). Countries with Authorized Users (August 2013). Today 49 AUs from 41 countries.

Activation Distribution As of August 8, 2013 – 381 Activations
