Charter activation brings space dimension to European emergencyexercise

[Jacques van Oene]

Full-scale disaster breaking out in France - in the form of a simulated
accident around which a major European civil protection exercise is planned.
Just as in a real emergency, the International Charter on Space and Major
Disasters is being activated so rescue teams will receive satellite images
of the disaster zone.
