[MP2-10] Disaster Management through
A ugmented Reality and Satellite Data

Ariston N. Gonzalez (Adarna Aerospace)

Geospatial
information from remote sensing satellite data, if leveraged correctly, can
drastically aid in disaster management productivity, hazard mapping, and building
resilience . Unfortunately, these technical data are mostly utilized only by scientists and
specialists. Rarely do t he ground level responders, users, and even disaster operations
managers , incorporate this inf ormation into their operations.
The main barrier for this is that dat
a visualization is limited to two dimensional (2D)
maps and graphs, leaving data without three dimensional (3D) spatial anchors. Having
an intuitive immersion through augmented and virtual reality a re key to effective data
contextualization. Additionally, t he scenarios in t he virtual space can be re created to
simulate real world disaster conditions, helping in pre disaster pr eparedness of
disaster manager, responders, and volunteers alike.
At
Adarna Aerospace, we break the barrie rs to utilization of tech nology, becau se we
believe that data can save resources, save time, and more importantly, save lives!
