19 September 2023 - (ERCC) Emergency Response Coordination Centre

Updated: Oct 9, 2023

On September 19, 2023, a productive meeting transpired between the PPRD Med Team and the representatives from ERCC in Brussels. During this meeting, the PPRD Med Team had the opportunity to present the project's objectives, along with the tools that have been developed and implemented within the context of addressing various challenges in Libya, such as flooding, flash flooding, dams, and the consequential cascade effects on the Derna River.


Notably, an engaging exchange of information took place, focusing on the utilization of space-derived analytics in mitigating the impact of these catastrophic events. In light of our discussions, it was mutually agreed to continue our collaboration with a specific focus on the following areas:

  • Facilitating the sharing of our respective Intelligence Platforms.

  • Developing scenarios for early warning systems that are driven by crisis situations and the triggering of cascade effects.

This collaborative effort aims to enhance our collective preparedness and response to critical events in the region.

The PPRD Med project is funded by the European Commission DG ECHO (Directorate General European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations) and is implemented by ISTC (International Science and Technology Center) with the support of ESA/R3 Accelerator (European Space Agency). The R3 Accelerator/Civil Security from Space programme (CSS), aims to enhance the contribution of space solutions to support the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, for the substantial reduction of economic losses as well as losses in lives, livelihoods, and health due to climate-induced crises.
