Conclusions
We are moving towards true near real time imagery access and analysis for humanitarian relief and human security
VHR commercial satellite imagery frequently updated is fundamental
Complementary to field inspection and presence, good for advocacy
Often only source of information
Accepted as decision-making tool, but more to be gained through mainstreaming and institutional capacity development
Partnership is everything!
