The Charter is a worldwide collaboration, through which satellite data are made available for the benefit of disaster management. By combining Earth observation assets from different space agencies, the Charter allows resources and expertise to be coordinated for rapid response to major disaster situations; thereby helping civil protection authorities and the international humanitarian community. FIRES - DISASTER TYPES - INTERNATIONAL DISASTERS CHARTER Fires. Wildfires occur when vegetated areas are set alight and are particularly common during hot and dry periods.

Ice - on the surface of water or in compacted snow - makes for treacherous conditions and can result in injuries if people slip and fall. Water sources may freeze, cutting off access for residents to clean water or heat.

They are typically located along the borders of the tectonic plates which sit on the lithosphere. When changes in pressure and density occur in the magma chamber beneath thevolcano
LANDSLIDES - DISASTER TYPES - INTERNATIONAL DISASTERS CHARTER Landslides occur when ground on slopes becomes unstable. The unstable ground collapses and flows down the side of a hill or mountain, and can consist of earth, rocks, mud and any debris which may be caught in its wake. If a landslide occurs near inhabited areas, it can cause a great deal of damage. They can strike quickly and bury entirevillages.
EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANOES, AND THE EXAMPLE OF KILAUEA Earthquakes account for 11 percent of all Charter activations, while volcanoes account for 6 percent. Additionally, earthquakes have a hand in other disaster events, most notably tsunamis and landslides, but also volcanoes.

EARTHQUAKES
Earthquakes. Earthquakes occur following the release of energy when tectonic plates move apart. These plates move in currents in the Earth's lithosphere and the edges, which have been mapped to fault lines, sometimes collide.

FLOODS - DISASTER TYPES - INTERNATIONAL DISASTERS CHARTER Floods. Floods. Floods affect more people than any other natural disaster and they have been the most common cause for activating the Charter since it was founded in 2000. Flooding occurs when bodies of water flow onto land that is normally dry. The source of this overflowing water varies and some of the most common causes are: OIL SPILLS - DISASTER TYPES - INTERNATIONAL DISASTERS CHARTER Oil spills.
