International Charter
The International Charter is an agreement between all nations that, in the event of a disaster that affects the human population, the use of everyone’s satellites becomes available. Our director, Brent Yantis, is the program manager and is charged with “activating” the charter should our region need assistance.

Natural Disaster Data Mining
As we all know, Louisiana is no stranger to natural disasters. Satellite imagery enables natural disaster assessment and restoration to begin immediately. Our goal has been to acquire imagery and get reliable results to the agency managers responsible for implementing state restoration projects as quickly as possible.
