Tropical Storm which take more than 80% of total
damages cause by all of natural disasters
* Recently Vietnam pays very much attention on
Climate Change
and its Impact; Adaptation etc…
* For Vietnam at present, the forest fire is not defined

Pacific Disaster Center
(PDC) asked the United
States Geological Survey
(USGS) to activate the
International Charter
“Space and Major
Disasters”
for the
ongoing flooding event
in Vietnam which began
on August 4. On August
8, the Charter was
activated, and PDC was
nominated to manage
the collecting and
dissemination of data
products for relief
purposes.

•
Not receive in near real time
Few in quantity, small coverage and not stable
•
Big size and low speed of internet download

•
Lack of experts and difficulty in analysis for products
extracted from high-resolution RS imagesresolution RS imag
The images from different kind of satellites, different

The outputs are not impressive
Decision-Makers and Policy-Makers are not familiar with RS
field; seeming not concern enough or no trust?
Disaster Managers / officers are not good educated on RS
application and integration.
No training, no facilities for their research and/or application
in practice. No official duty on use of RS data/product in
