APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION
Communication has to shift from technology to cost-
benefit advantages of using LAMPRE service and products:
• Better understanding of the propensity of territories to
generate landslides, considering different triggers
• Improved response capacity to assess landslide hazard and
mitigate risk
 Cost reductions and efficiency gains in risk preparedness,
mitigation, recovery and reconstruction activities
 Reduced loss of life caused by natural hazards
 Easy integration into users operational workflow

23. SPACE4YOU Conference, Bari, 27-28 February 2014 23
APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION
 Facts on specific measures and incentives for the adoption
of LAMPRE (or broadly Copernicus) services
 Best practices of cooperation and integration between
Copernicus services
 Pre-commercial procurements and funding programs to
facilitate cooperation between actors

PURPOSE TO INVOLVE SUG
• Assess user needs
• Advise on service & products requirements during
their development
• Assess procedures, criteria, applicability of
landslide inventory maps, susceptibility models
• Evaluate economic and technologic sustainability
of the downstream service
• Contribute to deciding on appropriate take-up
• Disseminate project results
Purposes
• Two intermediate Exploitation workshops
• Final conference on LAMPRE cross-border cooperation
with Copernicus projects involving ESA, SUG
members, NEREUS, GEO members etc.

28. SPACE4YOU Conference, Bari, 27-28 February 2014 28
OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
 General public interested in acquiring
general knowledge about landslide events
 High-school and university students
interested in acquiring a deeper
understanding of landslide phenomena.
 Dedicated LAMPRE web pages to basic
information available on landslides and FAQ
 Brochures using non-scientific language on
specific themes (e.g., “what is a landslide
event”, “remote sensing of landslides”, “how
landslide event inventory maps are prepared”);
 Master-classes on landslides.

29. SPACE4YOU Conference, Bari, 27-28 February 2014 29
COOPERATION POSSIBILITIES
LAMPRE increases the operational capacity of GMES
services to cope with landslides caused by different triggers.
 Floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides can
occur simultaneously, or one or more of these hazards can
trigger one or more.
 LAMPRE products and services can be used by other
Copernicus projects dealing with diverse natural hazards.
 Thematic or regional clusters to cooperate on downstream
services for Emergency Response Management and Land
Management.
