Introduction
Respond is an alliance of European and International organisations working with the humanitarian community to improve access to maps, satellite imagery and geographic information.

As a community response to real and urgent User need for global humanitarian mapping, Respond began during 2004, as one of the 2nd tranche of ESAs GMES Service Element (GSE) projects. Stage 2 began in November 2006 and will run until the end of October 2009.

Respond and its partners are actively involved in both ESA and EC GMES-related activities on humanitarian, disaster and security topics. Respond is active in the development of the OCHA/ECHO GDACS, through UNOSAT, the JRC and Reuters AlertNet.
