U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey USGS Emergency Operations Natural Hazards Support and Monitoring Geospatial Data Support and Acquisition

USGS Mission USGS serves the nation by providing reliable scientific information: As an unbiased, multi-disciplinary science organization that focuses on biology, geography, geology, geospatial information, and water Is dedicated to the timely, relevant, and impartial study of the landscape, our natural resources, and the natural hazards that threaten us.

Minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters such as: Landslides Earthquakes Volcanic Activity Flooding Wildfires Biological Diseases USGS Mission

The over arching goal of the program is To: make relevant remote sensing and earth science data available to customers In a way that: is fast, efficient, and easy to use So that: deaths, injuries, property damage, economic losses, and human suffering caused by disasters are minimized And can be measured by: timeliness of response, accuracy of response, utility of products, and customer satisfaction.
