THE CHALLENGE OF GLOBAL HUNGER
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
WFP EMERGENCY RESPONSE
How many people are affected?
Where are they?
How to reach them?
Within 72 hours
• Global network of clients in HQ, RBs,
COs through geospatial information tools
and critical mapping outputs
• Diverse datasets brought together to
enable WFP staff to develop insights into
complex dynamics and provide actionable
information for emergency response.

Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM)
24/7 monitoring of natural
hazards (earthquakes,
tropical storms and
precipitation)
REAL TIME OPEN DATA
and open source oriented,
internally developed and
free of all cost
INFORMATIVE
relevant information (i.e.
impact estimates) for better
informed decision making
(or semi automatic) production of standardized dashboards

collection and management of global,
systematic food security data to identify most
vulnerable areas for WFP interventions
STRENGTHEN
further vulnerability indicators to better
inform decision making, immediately
before or right after the shock

Flood Detection and Impact Analysis
Satellite data stored in cloud and
processed with high computing power
CONVENIENT
approach to analyse all available near
real time data, either in response to an
ADAM alert or not
SYSTEMATIC

Getting Delineation
areas from Copernicus
or directly from Sentinel
Copernicus product

Estimation of crops and
population affected
Cyclone Kenneth,Mozambique
Getting grading
estimates from field
assessments (and
potentially damage
grading)
Estimation of
population affected,
using estimated ratio of
damaged structures
