Depending on the type of disaster and weather conditions, different types
of satellite data are available:
• Optical: for fires, earthquakes, volcanoes, rainfall and landslides.
• Radar: for rain, landslides and earthquakes, in addition to all those in which
the optical image is not available due to poor atmospheric conditions.
• GNSS: to define the movements of the tectonic plates after an earthquake.
During the emergency caused by the earthquakes of September 2017, the
actions expected in the SICADE were implemented as part of the solution.

The INEGI response to natural disasters in Mexico, has the purpose of
promoting an exchange of practices and experiences in the matter among the
