The purpose of the GMES Emergency Response Core Service (ERCS) is to support at global level all stages of intervention cycle from early warning, to crises management and recovery in response to natural, environmental emergencies (e.g. droughts, floods, storms, earthquakes, tsunami, volcano eruptions, landslides fires, etc).
The initial scope of the ERCS is to provide rapid mapping services (reference and damage assessment maps) to gather the necessary information to know the incoming anomalous events and the following critical effects, the effective damages and to forecast and design the restore of normal life ordinary conditions.
The applications covered by the ERCS include the following:
