New User Guide for Copernicus Emergency Management Service

To coincide with the release of the second phase of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS), the European Commission’s DG GROW has commissioned an update to the EMS User Guide to reflect changes to service and product specifications, as well as the transition from GMES to Copernicus. This activity involved a study of user requirements and incorporated recommendations from the European Commission services DG GROW, DG ECHO, DG JRC and Member States.
