Climate change has led to the increase of plenty of natural hazards, affecting millions of people globally. Together with National Societies, we analyze different climate-related data to understand extreme weather events and use it as guidance to reduce their impact on people’s lives.
Water security refers to the sustainable management and use of water resources to ensure that there is enough quality water available for the health, livelihoods, and ecosystems of present and future generations. This involves protecting water sources from pollution, managing water supplies to prevent scarcity, ensuring equitable access to clean water, and preparing for and mitigating water-related disasters like floods and droughts.
Our activities in this field include monitoring water quality and quantity through remote sensing, analysing water usage patterns, modelling and forecasting water availability and demand, mapping and managing watershed areas, and providing real-time alerts and decision support systems for water resource management and disaster response.
