摘要：Several action teams were constituted to pursue the recommendations of the 3 rd United Nations conference on the exploration and peaceful uses of outer space (UNISPACE III) held in 1999. One of these teams was assigned the task to propose the implementation of a global disaster management system, especially through the use of existing space resources and related services. After an elaborate process of consultations, surveys, gap and need analysis, Action Team 7 has recently submitted its findings and recommendations that are reported here. Natural and man-made disasters strike indiscriminately all parts of the world and require coordinated international efforts to manage their effects and supplement the ongoing global approaches. Currently, there is some emphasis on disaster response, but too little on prevention and mitigation. A large number of countries have little or no exposure to the benefits of space systems, and there is a lack of single point of contact for assimilating the space-based information. The Team is therefore recommending the implementation and funding options for an international space coordination body for disaster management, nominally identified as the 'Disaster Management International Space Coordination Organization (DMISCO)'. Such a body would have the mandate to provide the necessary means to optimise the efficiency of current and future services for disaster management. The concept would be based on a ' Disaster Management Space Support System (DMS3)' universally accessible to all stakeholders: Users, emergency response and civil protection agencies, local and national authorities, lending institutions, value- added service and product resellers, and space operators
