The MapScaping Podcast - GIS, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, earth observation and digital geography

NOTE

Technology's Limitations Must Be Acknowledged

Expectations of technology, particularly satellite data, often exceed its actual capabilities. While numerous Earth observation satellites provide critical information during emergencies, their coverage can be inadequate in large-scale disasters like floods in Pakistan. Understanding the constraints of satellite imagery, especially under conditions like cloud cover, highlights the need for improved research in integrating various data sources to create a comprehensive disaster assessment. Additionally, it is crucial to effectively communicate these technical challenges to ensure realistic expectations are set for technology's role in emergency response.
