   Communications provide the critical path for relief in emergency and disaster situations.
   Communications connect and help move logistical, rescue and first responder resources in any region of
   the world facing or recovering from natural or man-made disasters.
   Deploying wireless communications is typically among the first priorities in any emergency response,
   rescue, or relief situation. However, terrestrial wireless equipment (cellular phones or land mobile radios)
   is only useful when communications towers and other fixed equipment are in place to connect wireless
   equipment to the local and global communications backbone. In the majority of emergency situations, this
   infrastructure has either been destroyed by the disaster (e.g. New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina) or was
   not available before the disaster (e.g. the earthquake in Pakistan). This reality makes it critical for local
   government and emergency workers to have access to a wireless communications network that is not
   dependant on terrestrial infrastructure.
   Satellite communications provide such a solution. Satellites are the only wireless communications
   infrastructure that is not susceptible to damage from disasters, because the main repeaters sending and
   receiving signals (the satellite spacecraft) are located outside the Earth’s atmosphere.
   Users today have two kinds of satellite communications networks available to support emergency
   response activities: geostationary satellite systems (GEO) and low Earth orbit satellites (LEO).
   Geostationary (GEO) satellites are located 36,000 km above the Earth in a fixed position and provide
   service to a country or a region covering up to one third of the globe. They are capable of providing a full
   range of communications services, including voice, video and broadband data. These satellites operate
   with ground equipment ranging from very large fixed gateway antennas down to mobile terminals the size
   of a cellular phone. There are currently almost 300 commercial GEO satellites in orbit operated by global,
   regional and national satellite carriers.
   Even before disasters strike, these networks are used in many countries to provide seismic and floodsensing
   data to government agencies to enable early warning of an impending situation. Also, they
   2
   broadcast disaster-warning notices and facilitate general communication and information flow between
   government agencies, relief organizations and the public.
   LEO satellites operate in orbits between 780 km and 1,500 km (depending on the system) and provide
   voice and low speed data communications. These satellites can operate with handheld units about the size
   of a large cellular phone. As with handheld terminals that rely upon GEO satellites, the highly portable
   nature of LEO-based units makes them another valuable satellite solution for first responders in the field.
   In order to most effectively utilize the capabilities of these systems, government agencies, relief
   organizations and other first responders must define as far in advance as possible what kind of terminals
   they will need to have in the field before and after an emergency.

    The uses of satellites in disaster management are becoming more integral to reducing reaction time and providing accurate information to rescue and disaster control operations. Satellites are used in disasters for communications, remote sensing and mapping. Meteorological and storm warning satellite technology can help with predicting disasters and setting up precautionary activities. U.S. Landsat Earth-observation satellites collect data in conjunction with NASA and the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to forecast weather-related disasters, manage floods, monitor large fires and determine which areas are at risk for landslides. They can analyze climate changes and map areas for relief operations with the data collected from the satellites
