FUTURE INTELLIGENT EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEM (FIEOS) FOR FAST RESPONSE TO DISASTER

摘要

This invited paper presents the future intelligent earth observing system (FIEOS) and event-driven earth observation concepts as well as their connections to disaster response for both decision-makers and the general public. The elucidated linkage and flow of information from FIEOS to societal benefits is interoperable and easily expanded. With the envisioned FIEOS, this paper emphases on (i) How to apply the FIEOS and the event-driven observation to increase the efficiency of monitoring natural disaster, to improve the natural disaster management, and to mitigate disasters through providing highly accurate, and to provide highly reliable surveillance data for experts, analysts, and decision-makers; (ii) How to significantly increase and extend societal benefits to the future U.S. Earth observation application strategy in, for example, surveillance, real-time response to time-critical events, and disastrous environmental monitoring. Therefore, this paper presents the analysis of FIEOS to society benefit in the in the realms: (i) reducing loss of life and property from natural and human-induced disasters, (ii) understanding the effect of environmental factors on human health and well-being, (iii) improving wealth forecasting, (iv) supporting sustainable agriculture, and (v) serving lay people.
