Earthquake in Turkey and Syria
February 8, 2023
On February 6, 2023, an earthquake with a magnitude 7.8 occurred in the Gaziantep region of southeastern Turkey, followed by numerous aftershocks up to magnitude 7.5. Many regions and cities have been affected, especially in the Turkish-Syrian border area. The total number of people affected or injured is still unknown, as the situation remains unclear as cleanup efforts are ongoing. The DLR-ZKI provides a web viewer, where first aid responders, humanitarian actors and governmental agencies for public safety can receive high resolution satellite imagery and their analyses.

DLR supports emergency responders in Turkey
February 8, 2023
The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is supporting rescue teams in areas affected by the recent earthquakes in Turkey. Researchers at the DLR Center for Satellite Based Crisis Information (ZKI) are analysing satellite images and processing them into digital maps. This situational information is also passed on to teams on the ground. As part of the DLR Earth Observation Center, the ZKI specialises in the analysis of satellite data for crisis relief. The ZKI works closely with authorities and non-governmental organisations within Germany and internationally.

DLR researchers launch GEOCON project to support humanitarian aid in Ukraine and other conflict regions
February 06, 2023
During conflicts and crisis, the current situation is often complex and difficult to assess. Although emergency workers and decision-makers in humanitarian aid organizations often have access to extensive information, this usually comes from different sources, is often unverified and must first be combined into meaningful information products. Neither time nor capacities are available for this in an emergency. The aim of the GEOCON project "Satellite based geoinformation in urban conflict regions for supporting humanitarian activities" is to collect various remote sensing, geospatial and web data and to merge them in such a way that meaningful information products are created for humanitarian actors on the ground.

On January 24, visitors from the German Red Cross (GRC) from the Information Management and GIS departments came to the ZKI again. Representatives from the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT) also joined. Demands of the GRC and current research work were presented as well as possibilities for future cooperation were discussed. This resulted in various ideas for a future cooperation, especially in the area of crisis information and communication towards decision-makers.
