ISPRA participates in Pilot 3 "Assessing Geo-hazard vulnerability of Cities and Critical Infrastructures" of Showcase S6 "The Disasters Resilience showcase", coordinated by EuroGeoSurveys.
EuroGEOSS Showcases aims to develop operational Earth Observation (EO) services with users and create the conditions whereby Europe's strengths are utilized to address societal challenges, promote entrepreneurship and support sustainable development.

The specific activities for ISPRA will concern the use of EO data and services as well as the dissemination of their effectiveness in the city of Como, in relation to critical areas and infrastructures affected by subsidence.
