Mapping for crisis management
The main objective of this quarterly report is to show how the European Crisis Management Laboratory (ECML) Mapping Team at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) plays a key role in delineating all the components of disaster event phases with its daily situational awareness reports (ECHO Daily Flash and Daily Maps) and on-demand products (ECHO Situation Maps/Infographics). The function of the ECML Mapping Team is a crucial and challenging one that requires a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach along with the employment of various highly specialized skills and expertise.
This document aims to support the reader to have a knowledge of what happen periodically across the world, by means of an analysis of the three main pillars of the ERCC portal: ECHO Daily Flash, ECHO Daily Map and ECHO Situation Maps produced by the ECML team. This document is also meant to contribute to the deliverable “Enhanced Global Monitoring” of the JRC portfolio 25, “Enhanced Situational Awareness for Crisis Management”, planned for the end of 2023. The present report (the second release of a series of quarterly reports) represents daily and non-daily activities of the ECML Mapping Team in support to DG ECHO and to the ERCC and it is a sort of reasoned portfolio of all the situational awareness products (both in form of maps and brief reports) produced for and collected in the ERCC portal.
