The FP7 project G-MOSAIC (GMES services for Management of Operations, Situation Awareness and Intelligence for regional Crises, http://www.gmes-gmosaic.eu/) aims at identifying and developing products, methodologies and pilot services for the provision of geo-spatial information in support of EU external relations policies and at contributing to define and demonstrate the sustainability of GMES global security services. Following the Haiti earthquake on January 12th, 2010, the G-MOSAIC Rapid Geospatial Reporting Service has been activated. It was initially requested by the UN cartographic section and the Spanish Red Cross in order to produce geo-spatial products in rush mode to assist relief efforts in Haiti. Satellite imagery immediately acquired after the disaster were processed by G-MOSAIC partners and first geo-spatial information were delivered to the users on January 16th. In this paper we share some experiences resulting from automated damage analysis in this context.
