​In this hackathon, participants will delve into the groundbreaking intersection of space-based technologies and early warning systems, with a particular focus on satellite navigation solutions. By harnessing the advanced capabilities of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as Galileo, EGNOS, and Copernicus, teams will devise innovative approaches to enhance disaster preparedness and early warning mechanisms.

​

Key Focus Areas:

​

- Space-Based Innovation for Early Warning: Participants will explore how integrating satellite technology, including navigation and imagery, can revolutionize early warning systems. This integration aims to bolster disaster preparedness and response efforts, allowing for timely and effective interventions during emergencies.

​

- Satellite Navigation-Based Early Warning Systems: Teams will utilize satellite navigation technologies to develop precise and actionable disaster alerts. The goal is to create solutions that not only save lives but also reduce damage by providing tailored warnings specific to various types of hazards.

​

- Advancements in GNSS Across Domains: The hackathon will highlight the critical role of GNSS in diverse sectors such as aviation, maritime, agriculture, and transportation. Participants will showcase how advancements in satellite navigation can contribute to building resilient systems and improving overall safety and efficiency in these domains.
 

Illustrative Examples:

​

- Participants will have access to case studies that demonstrate the real-world applications of geospatial technologies in disaster management. These case studies will feature scenarios where data from Galileo, EGNOS, and Copernicus have been used to issue early warnings, manage evacuation procedures, and support recovery efforts following disasters.​

​

- Teams will analyze and leverage datasets from geospatial technologies to create predictive models, visualization tools, and decision support systems aimed at enhancing early warning capabilities. By tapping into the extensive satellite data available, participants will develop solutions with tangible benefits for regions prone to natural disasters.
