Over the past 15 years, scientists and disaster responders have increasingly used satellite-based Earth observations for global rapid assessment of disaster situations. We review global trends in satellite rapid response and emergency mapping from 2000 to 2014, analyzing more than 1000 incidents in which satellite monitoring was used for assessing major disaster situations. We provide a synthesis of spatial patterns and temporal trends in global satellite emergency mapping efforts and show that satellite-based emergency mapping is most intensively deployed in Asia and Europe and follows well the geographic, physical, and temporal distributions of global natural disasters. We present an outlook on the future use of Earth observation technology for disaster response and mitigation by putting past and current developments into context and perspective.
在过去的 15 年中，科学家和灾难应对人员越来越多地使用基于卫星的地球观测技术，对全球灾难情况进行快速评估。我们回顾了 2000 年至 2014 年期间卫星快速响应和应急制图的全球趋势，分析了 1000 多起利用卫星监测评估重大灾害情况的事件。我们综合了全球卫星应急制图工作的空间格局和时间趋势，并表明基于卫星的应急制图主要集中在亚洲和欧洲，并且与全球自然灾害的地理、物理和时间分布密切相关。我们通过将过去和当前的发展情况纳入背景和视角，展望了未来利用地球观测技术进行灾害应对和减轻的前景。
