"DigitalGlobe's industry-leading collection capacity has changed what can be done with geospatial imagery," said David Robinson, DigitalGlobe's senior director of U.S. National Security Programs. "Recent events have demonstrated the potentially life-saving benefits of rapidly available, pre- and post-event satellite imagery, and we are excited to continue to support the NGA by offering timely access to critical insight and information that aids in planning and relief efforts."
Satellite imagery has proven to be a useful decision-support tool when on-ground accessibility is difficult or dangerous. Providing fast, web-based access to pre-and post-event imagery, DigitalGlobe's CES supports emergency preparedness risk and planning analysis as well as damage assessment and recovery efforts for local, civil and federal governments, defense and homeland security, insurance and reinsurance agencies, and multinational and humanitarian agencies.
CES has proven to be a critical tool for organizations and agencies looking to better understand the extent of damage following a disaster and inform decisions for relief efforts. CES was used extensively in the aftermath of January's devastating earthquake in Haiti to assess damage and identify areas of need. The service has also been in effect during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill crisis, providing before and after imagery that offers insight into the impact of the spill.
