The two services within the exposure theme will utilise Copernicus Sentinel data, artificial intelligence, and dasymetric techniques to analyse and quantify the value of assets – such as buildings, infrastructure, populations, crops, and livestock – exposed to hazards. These services will provide evidence-based data to support assessments of site or property value per square metre, informing stakeholders in risk management and resource allocation decisions.

The project portfolio includes pre-operational applications, or use cases, of the developed services in selected areas throughout the LAC region for the purpose of demonstrating and testing their capabilities and potential.

Use Case 12: Financial value mapping

 

Area of application: Dominican Republic

Economic value of different sectors in USD/square metre, allocated on a complete land use/land cover map.
