Risk and Recovery Mapping is one of the two on-demand mapping services under the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS). Risk and Recovery Mapping delivers geospatial information (in different vector and raster formats) in support of disaster risk reduction, preparedness and prevention, recovery and reconstruction, to assist disaster managers. Supported disaster types range from natural hazards such as floods, fires, storms, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and earthquakes to industrial accidents and humanitarian crises.
