In the event of a natural or terrorist disaster, the key to rescue and recovery operations is timely information presented in standardized data formats. The quicker the response, the higher the likelihood that lives would be saved and property damage would be minimized. Geospatial information should also be tailored to the needs of first responders. The addition of a multi-band Airborne Passive Microwave Radiometry system to existing optical remote sensing solutions with a wireless data downlink capability has an enormous potential for preventing or assisting in disaster operations. In crisis mode, this proven technology can deliver critical geospatial updates to assist first responders. Timely soil moisture and depth to water table maps over large areas can be created to monitor water barriers, to manage dangerously high water tables, and to prevent flooding disasters.
