Integration of Multi-Regional Data Resources for Decision Support in Mesoamerica

摘要

SERVIR is a regional, environmental monitoring and decision support system, reaching from southern Mexico to Panama, that monitors and helps decision makers mitigate the natural and anthropogenic impacts on the region through the collection and dissemination of scientifically sound information. The system supports a variety of practical applications, along with enabling research. Building on the capabilities of its partners, SERVIR incorporates data from a network of sensors and linked computers. SERVIR's goal is to create a scalable, robust, modular monitoring and visualization system for natural and man-made disasters that can be scaled for other regions of the world. The system utilizes a rapid prototyping approach that develops, and quickly transitions to operations, new data products and applications from the research community. SERVIR is currently providing reliable, accurate data and information in near real-time to help guide decision makers in planning for extreme events.
