National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA)

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) is a government agency in the Philippines responsible for coordinating and implementing disaster risk reduction and management strategies. While not directly involved in building or launching satellites, NDRRMA utilizes space-based data and technologies, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) from satellites like those of Synspective and data from the European Space Agency, for monitoring land displacement, assessing geohazards, and creating thematic maps for disaster management. NDRRMA collaborates with agencies like the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA), the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and international organizations like the World Bank to enhance disaster resilience through space science and technology. They also work to inform the public about potential hazards related to space activities, such as rocket launches.
