Which capacities still need to be built up, if any?-	Which user group should be targeted, if any?-	Where would trainings be most relevant ?-	Are the existing EO and relevant in-situ data (DEM) sufficient or not?-	Is there a need for further promotion /outreach to increase awareness of the existing services (eg GLOFAS) and could WG CapD help in this?

1-	European countries have well established Flood warning, risk management systems: eg. COPERNICUS Emergency Management Service: Rapid Mapping & Risk/ Recovery (https://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/list-of-activations-rapid mostly FLOODS MAPPING) and COPERNICUS EFAS - European Flood Awareness System (https://www.efas.eu/) and GLOFAS – Global Flood Awareness System for (daily flood) forecast & early warning, tools (viewer), trainings (how to use their layers)

UN-SPIDER, International Charter ….

Do they have an associated CB programme?   UN-SPIDER, International Charter ….

Do they have an associated CB programme?

Charter is less active in Europe than Copernicus EMS and limited to the immediate response phase, by contrast to the EMS. So EMS might be more relevant here.

More about UN-SPIDER can be found here: https://www.un-spider.org/about/what-is-un-spider.
In the discussion it was partly referred to as if it was a service, but it is a UN programme under UNOOSA that does considerable efforts to encourage the use of EO data and CB in (mostly) developing countries.

Copernicus / RUS offers the possibility to use their virtual machines pre-installed with OS SW for training purposes (up to 20 students at the time) to European trainers. Those could be used to demonstrate application of Sentinel Data for Floods , e.g. re-using Serco RUS tutorials freely available or developing own materials. The offer is on first come/first serve basis and need to be approved by a RUS Steering Board.

Vera Thiemig: it is complex for users to adapt the model to their regions, but Vera welcomes when people try and have a closer look at the models. Francesco sees this as an opportunity for training those users

EO College has an intro to flood monitoring which tries to integrate with resources
of UNSPIDER, using resources that are already existing.
This could be used as a starting point, to be expanded in a collaborative way with others,
by putting it in other platforms too and increasing the quality.
Robert, did we understand it correctly? Thanks
