Closing Session 

This workshop is designed for members of the Fire Sector community who use NOAA's remote sensing data in the fields of fire preparedness, fire response, fire damage assessment, and fire impacts to critical infrastructure. There will be workshop opportunities for end-users in the fields of weather, agriculture, and human health at a later date. 

The purpose of this workshop is to gather feedback on NOAA's environmental satellite data products through structured discussion. These User Needs will be used to inform the remote sensing capabilities of NOAA's next generation of environmental satellites, the GEO-XO program. Participants should join the workshop prepared to contribute to a facilitated discussion.  

Please contact Vanessa Escobar, Lead Scientist for GEO-XO User Engagement at vanessa.escobar@noaa.gov.

If you are interested in providing additional feedback on your user needs, please consider taking the below survey!
