I recently participated in a workshop on "Space Technology in Disaster Management" organized by National Institute of Disaster Management and National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)INDIA on 09 August 2024 SATPALDA utilizing BlackSky sensors showcased a remarkable achievement: Despite challenging all-day cloud cover, our Earth Observation satellites successfully acquired high-resolution imagery of Chooralmala. This enabled us to effectively assess damage to buildings and land parcels in the affected area. This experience highlighted the crucial role of space technology in disaster management, demonstrating how BlackSky advanced satellite capabilities can overcome environmental obstacles to provide vital information for response and recovery efforts. #DisasterManagement #SpaceTechnology #RemoteSensing #SATPALDA #BlackSky #NIDM #NDMA

Our hearts go out to the people of #Nepal affected by the devastating flash flood in Solukhumbu district. On 16-08-2024, a catastrophic event struck #Thame village, with flash flooding, mudslides, and debris flows damaging nearly half of the settlement. The impact on the community has been severe. A SAR image captured by Strix, Synspective Inc. on 17-08-2024 reveals the extent of the damage, clearly showing the presence and absence of buildings in the affected area. This disaster highlights the critical importance of remote sensing technologies in disaster response and assessment. SAR imagery provides valuable insights even in challenging weather conditions, aiding in rapid damage evaluation and response planning.

SATPALDA feels proud to be partnered with Maxar Technologies in this groundbreaking endeavor. This collaboration combines Maxar's cutting-edge satellite technology with Satpalda's expertise in geospatial services, promising to deliver even more value to clients and end-users. 🚀🌍

So here we are with latest advancements 🧿in disaster assessment and recovery of Chooralmal, Wayanad. Our team has successfully extracted building footprints from pre-disaster images and superimposed them onto the most recent satellite imagery acquired on 04 August from BlackSky. This cutting-edge approach allows us to accurately determine the extent of damage, including the number of houses🏡 affected, the spread of debris🪨, and overall property loss 🏠 This technology is pivotal in enhancing our understanding of disaster impact and improving response strategies.

🌉 The newly constructed bridge spanning PangongTso intensifies the situation regarding China's growing military footprint along the contested India-China border. 🛰️ Satellite imagery and data from BlackSky, captured on July 9 with frequent and varied timing, reveal fluctuations in vehicle numbers and patterns on roads leading to the bridge from both north and south. 🚙 The images also show a vehicle crossing the bridge itself. 🏗️ This structure provides an additional connection between Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) installations and significantly shortens travel duration for moving military resources and personnel across the lake.
