## Editorial
International Charter Space and Major Disasters is an international disaster-response consortium that gives authorised users a 24/7 single access point for emergency satellite data during major disasters.[^charter-disasterscharter-about] The consortium was founded in 2000 and has 17 members, more than 1,000 activations, and activity in more than 140 countries.[^charter-esa-earthonline] Its practical output is analyzed disaster maps and related EO products for activation teams that need rapid situational material during a crisis.[^charter-disasterscharter-about] The Charter Mapper platform supports the mapping workflow used around activations.[^charter-esa-earthonline] For public-sector users evaluating disaster-response EO services, the Charter is an activation and coordination mechanism rather than a single satellite operator: it connects authorised requests to participating space assets and delivers mapped products through a standing emergency-access process.[^charter-disasterscharter-about]
