‘Eye in the sky’: Pakistan’s space agency turns to satellites for relief amid devastating floods
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s national space agency SUPARCO is using satellite mapping and real-time imagery to help guide rescue and relief operations, officials said on Friday, as monsoon floods have devastated much of the country, killing over 800 people since the beginning of the season and destroying farms and livestock. The agency established its Space Application Center for Response in Emergency and Disasters (SACRED) in 2014 to provide space-based support for natural disasters, from floods and droughts to glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), earthquakes and landslides.
