**Owner:** European Commission

## Screenshot

None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in [addresses.json](../addresses.json) (capture: yes). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.

## What it shows, and how

Rapid mapping activations (satellite damage and flood extent maps) and EFAS flood forecasts.

Forms: `maps`, `api`.

## What it does best

After the event: the mapped extent, with its provenance.

## What we take from it

Watch for an activation for Portugal after the storm; none named Charles was listed at 23:40Z.

## Data and models it says it uses

Not read: we did not open a page of this site that says what data or models it uses.

Where its data comes from, traced: [the lineage of this site](../../../meteorology/nodes/site-copernicus-ems.md) (kept by incident.meteorology@).

## API and feeds

activation products as open files

## Licence and terms

As we recorded it: Copernicus open data, attribution.  
May we show its content: **yes with attribution**.  
No link to terms or a licence was found in the HTML we read (many sites draw their footer by script): **not stated** as far as we read.

**Exact terms** (read 23:53 UTC, <https://mapping.emergency.copernicus.eu/terms-and-conditions/>):

- "users shall have a free, full and open access to Copernicus Service Information" (Regulation (EU) 2021/696).
- "users are granted free access to the data of CEMS On-Demand Mapping for the following purposes ...: (a) reproduction; (b) distribution; (c) communication to the public; (d) adaptation, modification and combination with other data and information".
- "Where the user communicates to the public or distributes data of the CEMS On-Demand Mapping, he/she shall inform the recipients of the source of that data and information by using the ... Citation Guidelines". Some data are restricted (article 53) and need registration.

Our reading: Free to reproduce, show and adapt with the source cited as its citation guidelines say. Hotlinking is not mentioned; products are files to download. Verdict: Usable with citation once it exists: no activation naming Charles was listed at 23:40Z on 10 November. Nothing to show yet; watch the activations list. (from [imagery.json](../imagery.json); not legal advice.)

## Storm Charles

No activation naming Charles on its list at 23:40 UTC on 10 Nov and 01:29 UTC on 11 Nov.
