The main objective of PRISM is simple and has remained constant: to reduce technical barriers in accessing satellite data so that governments and humanitarian agencies can better prepare for and respond to climate-driven hazards. With this goal in mind, we’ve expanded and customized PRISM for a new context in Sri Lanka, and merged it with a mobile data collection platform used to monitor the impact of disasters in Cambodia (fun fact: it is also called PRISM). New challenges include using satellite data to monitor risks to livestock in Mongolia, and expanding to Myanmar later this year.
