From 3 to 7 March 2014,
UN-SPIDER was invited by the Government of Kenya to carry out a Technical
Advisory Mission (TAM) in order to assess the current state and the potential
of using space-based information for disaster risk management and emergency response
in the country.
Michael Hagenlocher from
the Interfaculty Department of Geoinformatics – Z_GIS joined the mission
team of experts from UN-SPIDER and national experts from governmental and
research institutions in the USA, Ireland, Nigeria, South Africa, France, and
China. The team visited a total of 19 national and regional institutions, NGOs
and United Nations agencies. The meetings provided insight in the role of each
organisation in disaster management and in the use of space-based and geospatial
information in Kenya. For more information, please see UN-SPIDER News.
