We provide you with accurate, scientific-quality imagery in as little as 30 minutes through our 24/7 emergency service, helping you make reliable decisions for impact mitigation and emergency response under time pressure. So, when you’re coordinating emergency response and combating the effects of a disaster, you can make better-informed decisions to help you save lives.

Responding to Indonesia's earthquake and tsunami

A deadly earthquake and tsunami hit the Indonesian city of Palu, in the island of Sulawesi, causing over 2,000 deaths, a number expected to rise as hopes of finding survivors among the thousands of people feared buried fade.


GEOSAT’s satellites activated its emergency service and captured the devastating aftermath of this disaster.

Liquefaction is thought to have occurred in the village of Jono Oge, Sigi Regency, too. The main road, right foreground, was cut off and swept away by a large amount of mud.


Emergency services to fight wildfires


Wildfires ravaged parts of Europe, Canada and the United States on summer seasons, setting new records, as hot, dry temperatures and fires become the new normal.


Greece's deadly wildfires


Greece suffered from its worst wildfires in a decade in July 2018. More than 80 people died, thousands were evacuated, and more than 1,500 homes were damaged, when a fire razed the small resort of Mati, about 28 kilometers (17 miles) east of Athens.
GEOSAT satellites were the first providers of satellite imagery in an exploitable format to the Hellenic Military Geographic Service.

California's Mendocino Complex Fire


California suffered from its largest wildfire on record: the Mendocino Complex Fire. This devastating blaze burnt for more than a month and consumed over 400,000 acres.
GEOSAT satellites launched a speculative campaign and monitored its evolution.

Flooding damage assessment and recovery


Following unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season, severe floods affected the south Indian state of Kerala. It was the worst flooding in this region in nearly a century with nearly 500 casualties.
