ScanEx R&D Center offers services for regular operational space monitoring of the areas of forest fires and floods.
Nowadays, an infrastructure for quick ordering and reception at own ground receiving stations of the leading world RS operators is created in Russia. Real-time processing enables to receive finished products with minimum time delay (from 0.5 to several hours) after acquisition for crucial decision-making in natural disasters emergency response.
SPOT, IRS, EROS, RADARSAT-1 satellites images are used to monitor the areas, damaged by floods. Very important is the possibility to do all-weather radar imagery from RADARSAT-1 at the resolution of 8-10 m, as the flooding areas are usually covered by clouds.
For fires monitoring, TERRA and AQUA satellites data are used after real-time processing and end-products presentation via on-line Internet access (EOStation services: http://eostation.irk.ru/ and http://eostation.scanex.ru/).
In spring of 2007 ScanEx center together with BaikalInformCenter (Irkutsk) have already performed operational imagery of the floods in Kaluga Region on Ugra River (March-April), in Bashkortostan on Belaya River (April-May), as well as of forest fires in Siberia (May). Despite the warm winter and early spring season many Siberian rivers are still covered with ice. At the same time, according to Russian Emercom forecasts, unfavorable scenarios of forest fires in Siberia and Far East in May are still a reality.
It is possible to sign agreements for regular space monitoring of the abovementioned areas.
