On February 27, immediately after the 8.3-magnitude earthquake hit the Chilean coast, the UN-SPIDER SpaceAid framework started contributing to coordination with local partners and with the providers of space-based information and value-adding organizations, in order to help provide adequate support to the disaster relief community. UNOOSA activated the International Charter: Space and Major Disasters on behalf of the World Food Programme (WFP). The SpaceAid section of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is the platform providing information about the latest available space-based information, including satellite images, derived maps and related geospatial data of the affected areas. This section is continuously updated and information is made available to end users in the field as well as to the general public.
