Abstract

The scope of the SIGRIS pilot project is the development of an infrastructure to provide value-added information services for the seismic risk management, using satellite Earth Observation data. The project is funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and will exploit Cosmo-Skymed SAR data to generate various information products to support the activities of the Italian Civil Protection Department. We show the first achievements of the project obtained using Cosmo-Skymed imagery to generate products for the April 6^th, 2009 L´Aquila earthquake in Central Italy.
