Vietnam to use satellite data for disaster prevention

Vietnam to use satellite data for disaster prevention

And monitor natural resources.

Vietnam's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is planning to use data and analytics to advance the application of satellite remote sensing technology, monitor natural resources and prevent disasters.

The National Remote Sensing Department is partnering Synspective, a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data and analytics solution provider and Fujitsu to leverage data for monitoring resources and enhancing environmental protection and disaster prevention capabilities.

Vietnam will perform ground deformation analysis and monitoring using Synspective’s land displacement monitoring (LDM) solution.

It also aims for developing applications and defining requirements for using SAR satellite data in various regions, and conduct research and data collection on the causes and impacts of natural resource issues.

Additionally, the project will assess Vietnam’s monitoring capabilities using the SAR satellite constellation.

The country is currently grappling with land subsidence and landslides, mainly attributed to groundwater pumping, among other factors, heightening the risk of flooding.

Notably, the Central Highlands are experiencing an increase in cracks in wallsand soil, a phenomenon also being reported in numerous other areas.

SAR satellite data allows consistent and thorough monitoring, detecting ground deformation that signals impending natural disasters.

This detection process is said to enable the timely consideration and implementation of appropriate countermeasures to mitigate their societal impact.
