UNITAR’s UNOSAT programme is prominently featured in a new publication on the role of information and social networks in emergencies and conflicts. The report looks at innovative solutions throughout the disaster cycle, from emergency preparedness and alerts to recovery and reconstruction. UNOSAT’s use of satellite imagery provides the UN family, its implementing partners and Member States with objective and timely information, an activity fully in-line with the theme of this report.

In addition, UNOSAT was invited by UN Dispatch to write a blog to complement the launch of the report. This blog, “Satellites to the rescue”, can be found here
