The Sentinel Asia (SA) initiative is a voluntary, grassroots, and best-efforts–based collaboration between regional space agencies and disaster management agencies for regional humanitarian purposes, applying satellite remote sensing and Web-GIS technologies to assist disaster management in the Asia-Pacific region. This book provides its history, framework, implementation approaches, how it operates, and its achievements, providing a good case study on how local partners have constructively collaborated to apply satellite remote sensing to support disasters management of over 450 disasters in the region. It also introduces how regional space agencies have effectively interfaced with the regional disaster management community, including ADRC and national disaster management organizations, as well as local academia (university, research and technical institutes). This book summarizes the activities of SA over the first decade from its conceptual inception in 2004, commemorating its 10th anniversary, and will be a useful example for similar international collaborations around disaster response elsewhere.
