SATIDA Collect

SATIDA到付環節的食品安全評估對乾旱風險的信息。

SATIDA COLLECT aims at the support of humanitarian aid organisations that are active in drought and food security management. In its current version SATIDA COLLECT provides a simple, quick and standardised way of collecting information about malnutrition, access to resources, food prices, coping capacities and other socio-economic factors. Every assessment includes GPS coordinates and is automatically uploaded to a database. This database allows the export of assessments for further data analysis and data sharing. In addition, it facilitates the illustration of assessments together with satellite-derived data about drought risk.

The SATIDA (Satellite Technologies for Improved Drought Risk Assessment) project was developed to support Doctors without Borders (Médecins sans Frontières).

Currently, the research team includes scientists from:

- The Austrian Central Institution for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG)

- The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)

- The University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU)

- Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien)
