Abstract

The quantity of natural disasters is constantly growing; it is becoming increasingly difficult to overcome their consequences. The resilience of the system is constantly checked for durability, so it is important to understand how to manage natural disasters. The use of spacebased information technologies, such as satellite systems of Earth`s observation, meteorology, navigation and telecommunications, plays a significant role for in the disaster prevention and response as well as in strengthening sustainable development. The author analyzes the international and national legal and regulatory framework, the existing scientific challenges on this issue. The article is devoted to the study of various international initiatives for the use of information obtained through space activities for the purpose of prevention, mitigation and relief operations. The article defines the concept of “system resilience” and the role of space information technology to manage natural disasters and to strengthen the sustainability of the world community and regions.

Keywords: space, management, system resilience, disasters, natural disasters, space meteorology, satellite telecommunication and navigation systems, Outer Space Treaty.
