This opportunity arose to join with the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS) meeting the week of April 14. In place of our 3rd Tuesday, we have a 2-hour session planned on Thursday but you are welcome to join for any portion that interests you. The goal is to share findings from ongoing CEOS activities in disasters to help the ESIP Disasters cluster refine its near-term objectives.

The international CEOS activities supporting disaster risk reduction with agency satellite data has recently formed a Working Group on Disasters, supported by an architecture analysis completed by the WGISS team. This month's briefings will feature the work on the CEOS flood pilot and Recovery Observatory concepts. An outcome of the flood pilots has identified challenges to the full exploitation of satellite data by end users (e.g.,field hydrologists determining when to issue alerts, emergency response personnel, and people in flood areas). Three speakers will describe the scenario illustrating challenges to end users, a GeoSocial API demo to address end user barriers, and experience in developing disasters-themed terminology (for landslides) as a potential solution to some of the barriers to satellite data use. If you missed the ESIP IT&I 'rant and rave' talk on emerging technologies in disaster management, it will be presented here for the WGISS meeting.

As the summer ESIP meeting rapidly approaches, we may have additional meetings to propose and refine what we want to accomplish in July.
