The Workshop considered that “institutional environment” referred not only to the existence of institutions that were involved in disaster management or that already had competence in the use of space-based solutions, but also to current national and regional policies with regard to disaster management.
L'“environnement institutionnel” comprenait non seulement les institutions existantes qui s'occupaient de la gestion des catastrophes ou qui savaient déjà utiliser des méthodes reposant sur des techniques spatiales, mais aussi les politiques nationales et régionales actuelles concernant la gestion des catastrophes.
