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.
