5th Sentinel Asia System (SAS) Operation Training, Colombo, Sri Lanka, February 22-26, 2010.
Application deadline: November 15, 2009.
Sentinel Asia is a voluntary basis initiative led by the APRSAF (Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum) to support disaster management activity in the Asia-Pacific region by applying the WEB-GIS technology and space based technology, such as earth observation satellites data. Sentinel Asia is initially an internet-based, node-distributed, information distribution backbone, eventually distributing relevant satellite and in-situ spatial information on multiple hazards in the Asia-Pacific region. The system draws on satellite derived products and imagery from all available earth observing geostationary, or low-earth orbiting satellites, including meteorological satellites that provide routine data to the region. The Sentinel Asia system is also to be used by members of Sentinel Asia to ‘trigger’ dedicated satellite-data acquisitions through their participating and cooperating space agencies during major and minor disasters in their
countries.
The purpose of this training is for people involved in a disaster management to learn how to utilize the Sentinel Asia Step2 System which has been newly opened in October 2009, as well as visualization and interpretation of satellite data obtained through the Sentinel Asia. In addition, it is expected that the real user feed back will be gathered through this SAS operation training so that we may reflect them on the Step2 System to improve it more effective.

(1) Those who work in the disaster prevention organization, the organization of Joint Project Team (JPT) members or the organization of ADRC members. (2) Those who wish to operate the Sentinel Asia Step2 System when disaster happens. (3) Those who wish to distribute the disaster information from Sentinel Asia to the appropriate organization like disaster prevention organization.
