The USGEO operates under the guidelines established by NSTC for a subcommittee. The primary goals of the subcommittee are, (1) to continue development and coordination of the U.S. Integrated Earth Observation System (IEOS). IEOS should address environmental and societal needs, including an assessment of current observational capabilities (both remote and in situ), an evaluation of requirements to sustain and evolve these capabilities, an assessment of how to integrate current observational capabilities across scales, and an evaluation of data gaps and research and development needs; and (2) to formulate the U.S. position and coordinate participation in the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) as formed at the third Earth Observation Summit on February 16, 2005.
allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
