To us Situational Awareness means being able to know what has happened, where and when. Be that an environmental disaster, a developing situation on an oil-rig, or maybe a security breach; the situation might vary. And it might not be avoidable. But with the technology and products from AnsuR Technologies, the situation definitely can be managed.

As such our solutions become central building blocks in any emergency and disaster management systems.

AnsuR is leading the EU FP7 GEO-PICTURES space project. A key technology developed is the rapid in-field assessment solutions ASIGN from AnsuR, and here it is integrated with a rapid satellite image ordering from KSAT and Rapid Mapping done by UNOSAT. A large number of ASIGN images have been captured and integrated world-wide by UN and EU Civil Protection, and more.  ASIGN runs both on computers and smartphones, and is both for professionals and the civil population who can contribute with crowd-sourcing. See how we helped out in Thailand during the floods in 2011. ASIGN is by now a well-proven operative technology and GEO-PICTURES has been a great success.

The ASIGN crowd-sourcing app is available for Android (soon also iPhone), and allows both early responders, NGOs or the general public to provide and share in-situ observations to global disaster manager. Read more from UNOSAT.
