Dataset description

<br/> Activation date: 2022-07-05 <br/> Event type: Other <br/> <br/> Activation reason: <br/> CEMS Risk and Recovery Mapping service has been activated by DG Joint Research Centre&nbsp;with the aim to source high-quality reference dataset to establish the new Exposure Mapping component of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. The outputs of this activation will be used for the establishment of the service (including tender preparation and eventually assessment), Global Human Settlement Layer2 (GHSL) validation, and training.&nbsp;The analysis will focus on 5 sample areas distributed across regions of the world&nbsp;that show heterogeneous human settlement characteristics in terms of built-up surface structures, level of planned development, formality, economic affluence, landscape, and building typologies among others. <br/> <br/>

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
