Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System needed more than ever
Since 2004, the UN and the EC have collaborated on a multi-hazard alert system calculating the impact of a disaster by satellite and coordinating the need for assistance on site.
As natural disasters become more common, more people will need help than ever before. When a disaster strikes, GDACS at once sends automatic alerts to the international first responders about the impact of the disaster on the population indicating the level of catastrophe and need for humanitarian assistance allowing for faster decisions and team work.
