Metria is currently conducting a feasibility study to explore the possibilities of creating a service that makes it easy to look at analyses of surfaces affected by natural hazards.
Using data from different satellites, we will identify areas affected by natural hazards. We will also look at how this information can be communicated in an easily understandable way. Potential users will be involved in the dialog so that we get a good understanding of their needs and how we can communicate analyses in a good way that can be used for communication and reporting by various users such as municipalities, county administrative boards or the media. The County Administrative Board of Dalarna participates in the project as a needs owner. They need to map, report and communicate crisis-validated data and have experience of both floods and forest fires.
The plan is to make a test model for the entire chain from collection, analysis, visualization and training to communication of results and business model / financing.
The project is called RIVAL, Tools for Risk Validation, and it is largely funded by the Swedish National Space Board.
