Humanitarian Aid from Space: How Mobile Technology and Satellites Improve Disaster Relief

Lockheed Martin and other members of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Space are developing a free, open-source web tool that uses the power of space technologies to deliver accurate, up-to-date information to humanitarian relief efforts. The product, called HelpNow™, will help individuals, governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that require support locating and routing humanitarian aid to areas that need it most.
