This talk will show how we can use open satellite data to provide more equitable analysis of war and disaster impacts, in near-real time and throughout protracted crises. The global humanitarian community is itself in crisis, with record gaps between the level of need and the support available, forcing difficult decisions about which emergencies receive attention and resources. Satellite data can help close some of these gaps by offering timely, consistent, and politically independent assessments—particularly in conflict zones and access-constrained settings. Drawing on experience working with an open damage mapping collective -- the Decentralized Damage Mapping Group -- across multiple war and disaster settings, this talk highlights both the potential and limitations of satellite data to inform humanitarian response, ensure visibility for underserved crises, and support more accountable, data-driven decisions.
