Remote Sensing in Disasters Community of Practice

What is REDICOP?

The Remote Sensing in Disasters Community of Practice (REDICOP) (formerly known as the Remote Sensing Innovation Working Group – RSIWG) is co-organized by MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) and New Light Technologies (NLT). REDICOP seeks to optimize the application of remote sensing advancements in the emergency management community, acting as a bridge between theoretical and applied research, and operational implementation. With partners from Federal, State, and local agencies, public sector research groups, NGOs, academia, and the private sector, the initiative focuses on building a collaborative platform to advance remote sensing technologies and methods in disaster management and jointly develops guidelines, standards, and workflows that enable emergency managers to use remote sensing technologies and products effectively.
