Earthquake response: from damage census to reconstruction
After an earthquake, every hour counts and information arrives fragmented: citizen reports, technical inspections, satellite imagery and volunteers on the ground. Osprean provides a common digital layer that connects to what institutions already do and answers four questions: what was damaged, where, how much it costs to repair and who is helping.
Other emergencies
The challenge
Three gaps that appear after every major earthquake
Fragmented damage assessment
Civil protection reports, housing censuses, fire service inspections and satellite imagery live in separate channels, and hard-to-reach communities are left with incomplete information.
Volunteers without central coordination
Citizens and independent initiatives head to affected areas without a common plan, risking overcrowding some areas, neglecting others and congesting access roads.
Justifying and tracing funds
Reconstruction is financed with public funds, trusts and multilateral bodies that require auditable, georeferenced data for every budget item.
How Osprean responds
Four modules working on the same map
Osprean recovery · daños.info
Damage census and budgets
- Residents report damage to homes, businesses and services from their phone, free of charge.
- Technical inspectors' reports are integrated on the same map.
- Reconstruction budget by administrative area, with a supporting report for funding applications.
Osprean coordination
Volunteers and real-time operations
- Volunteer registration with skills, availability and location.
- Assignment only to needs validated by the authorities.
- Every volunteer becomes the command centre's eyes: with a simple QR code they send geolocated photos, videos or live video, so the team sees in real time what is happening in each area.
- Saturation control: alerts and redirects volunteers when an area is already covered, with a virtual operations centre and work orders.
Osprean drones
Aerial reconnaissance and mapping
- Inspection of bridges, roads, landslide-prone slopes and hard-to-reach areas.
- Video and orthomosaics integrated into the command dashboard, adding ground-level detail to satellite maps.
- Flights in line with each country's aviation regulations.
Osprean prevention
Preparing for the next event
- Inventory and regular inspections (Gemba Walks) of public buildings, schools and critical sites.
- Risk maps and simulation of earthquake, flood and landslide scenarios.
- Updated contingency plans with guided drills.
Reference case
Panama earthquake, 9 October 2026
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake with its epicentre 39 km northwest of Tonosí struck Los Santos, Herrera, Veraguas, Coclé and other provinces, leading to a national emergency declaration the next day. This is Osprean's deployment plan for a scenario like this.
- Magnitude
- 7.5
- Homes assessed
- 1,744
- People affected
- 6,174
- Schools affected
- 656
Official figures published as of 12 October 2026. Illustrative deployment scenario.
The plan
- 1
Days 1 to 7
Immediate deployment
Activate the platform, enable the daños.info citizen channel and integrate civil protection reports and the housing register in the most affected provinces.
- 2
Days 8 to 30
Consolidation and control
Coordinate volunteers, launch the central dashboard for the command centre and cross-check data with the authorities.
- 3
Months 2 to 6
Budgeting and drones
Produce the first consolidated damage budget by province, district and township, with a supporting report for funding, and deploy the aerial teams.
- 4
Months 7 to 12
Certification and prevention
Train and certify local operators, activate Osprean prevention and extend the deployment to the rest of the country.
Technological sovereignty from day one: the data belongs to the State, is hosted under its jurisdiction, can be exported in open formats, and operations remain in the hands of trained local teams.
Frequently asked questions
How does Osprean help after an earthquake?
It brings citizen reports, technical inspections and drone and satellite imagery together on a single map, directs volunteers to validated needs, and calculates the reconstruction budget by zone with its supporting report.
Does Osprean replace existing civil protection systems?
No. Osprean connects to what institutions already do (damage reports, housing censuses, fire service inspections, satellite maps) and turns it into a single dashboard, without duplicating work.
Where is the data hosted?
On the infrastructure agreed with each country, under its jurisdiction. The data belongs to the public authority and can be exported in open formats at any time.
Does your territory need to respond to an earthquake?
