Two independent reports on AI in humanitarian action reach the same conclusions from different angles. This piece compares ITU's new early warning report with NASA Lifelines' own GeoAI findings on trust, co-design, and connectivity.
The NASA Lifelines team traveled to Bogotá to host the Ready for Impact Pitch Showcase, where eleven teams presented satellite-data solutions for early warning and disaster response. The trip also marked the unveiling of the second Crisis Readiness Accelerator mural.
At our Bogotá Speed Dating event under the Twilio Crisis Readiness Accelerator, 64 participants from humanitarian, government, and technical organizations convened to form new partnerships backed by flexible pilot grants.
The GeoAI for Humanitarian Action report explores how artificial intelligence and satellite data can strengthen humanitarian decision-making, while identifying the practical barriers that limit adoption. Drawing on community insights, it outlines strategies to build partnerships, tools, and programs that help humanitarian organizations translate GeoAI innovations into real-world impact.
The Data Studios are a different way of organizing geospatial and remote sensing resources. Instead of starting with a dataset and asking people to figure out what to do with it, we start with the real-world questions and work backwards from the use case.
As a follow-up to our NASA Lifelines blog on the YouthMappers webinar Harnessing Geospatial Data for Humanitarian Impact with YouthMappers, we are excited to share highlights from the YouthMappers Supper Club Challenge. This global initiative invited chapters to host conversations…
This guide provides an overview of the Earth observation (EO) methodologies that play a crucial role in humanitarian efforts by providing data and analytical tools to monitor climate, environmental changes, and disaster impacts.
This guide helps humanitarian decision-makers assess whether and how to use satellite data in their work. It offers a structured framework and real-world case studies to support informed, ethical, and impactful decisions.
From mapping overnight floods to monitoring wildfire spread and supporting conflict response, this blog offers a glimpse into how Earth observation scientists use satellite data to guide humanitarian action around the world.
This 27-minute highlight reel captures top moments from the NASA Lifelines Ready for Impact pitch showcase, featuring all presenting teams and funder panelists
