Explore Copernicus Rapid Mapping activations
An interactive Web GIS application for browsing, organising and visualising publicly available disaster mapping products from the Copernicus Emergency Management Service.
Disaster mapping data presented through a modern Web GIS
This personal project demonstrates how publicly available Copernicus Rapid Mapping data can be imported, organised, published and explored using open geospatial technologies.
Activation import
Activation metadata, Areas of Interest, products and versions are imported and organised in a relational spatial database.
Product layers
Individual product datasets are published as GeoServer layers and organised into product layer groups for convenient display.
Spatial exploration
Users can explore the distribution of activations and inspect their associated AOIs and disaster mapping products.
Geospatial architecture
The project combines Django, PostGIS, GeoServer and OpenLayers in a containerised Web GIS architecture.
Activation distribution
The map shows the locations or extents of imported Copernicus Rapid Mapping activations.

About the data
The disaster mapping information displayed in this application is derived from publicly available products published by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping programme.
Products represent conditions observed at the time the source imagery was acquired and analysed. This application is an independent portfolio project created for learning and demonstration purposes. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the European Commission or the Copernicus Programme and should not be used as a substitute for official operational information.
