CAP monitoring, emergency mapping, and real-time water data already exist as European and Spanish services. Public decisions improve when someone turns them into tools a technician uses every morning.
CAP monitoring: all of Spain except the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla
Much of the work is already done (and paid for) with European budgets: free data, public APIs, and operational services with years of track record. This is what an administration can activate today:
EU regulations establish satellite monitoring of farm subsidies, with a traffic light per parcel and appeals backed by georeferenced photos, which count as evidence since 2025. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/148 unifies quality assessments. In Spain it covers the whole territory except the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla.
geotagged photos valid since 2025
SiAR offers an official API with evapotranspiration from more than 500 stations, and the European Drought Observatory publishes its combined indicator three times a month through public WMS services (CC BY 4.0). The Segura basin real-time hydrology network (SAIH) still has no public API: normalizing it is exactly our kind of work.
EDO: drought indicator 3 times/month
Copernicus EMS rapid mapping has been operational since 2012, and EFAS warns of floods up to 10 days ahead. In the 2024 Valencia floods, activation EMSR773 quantified more than 53,000 affected hectares in 48 hours. A free service still underused by public administrations.

GHSL population at 100 m to estimate exposure in flood-prone areas, Spanish PNOA LiDAR (5 or more points/m²) for municipal 3D, and daily EFFIS fire danger with a public WMS (CC BY 4.0): open layers ready for municipal and regional plans.
EFFIS: daily fire danger
We work as the developer for the public body: the multi-file panel that replicates the CAP traffic light before the administration does, the water viewer that normalizes the SAIH feed, or the integration of Copernicus EMS mapping into a regional command center.
And one scope note: the borders and internal security segment of the European catalog operates as B2G with data restricted to authorized users (Copernicus Security). Our focus is on civil services built on open data.
Each new Sentinel-2 image is compared with the previous one over the same area. The system measures NDVI (an index that tells you how much green vegetation there is) and marks where green turns into bare soil or a new roof. The output is a list of parcels with likely change, such as a shed, a greenhouse, or newly cleared land, so the planning office reviews only what really changed instead of the whole municipality.

We gather the full image series over the works site and build a timeline of progress: how much earth was moved and how much surface was built at each date. For bridges, dams, or buildings, EGMS (the European ground motion map: it compares radar passes from the satellite, a method called InSAR, and detects shifts of millimeters per year) flags if a structure settles more than expected. The site team gets an objective report for certification and control, without relying only on the visit.
EGMS · InSAR · millimeters/year
Land surface temperature (LST, how hot the ground or a roof is as seen from the satellite) comes from Landsat and is averaged over heatwave days. The result is a map of the neighborhoods that overheat the most. With it, a city decides where to plant trees, where to add shade, and which area to prioritize in the next investment plan, with a measured criterion instead of a guess.

A per-parcel traffic light with Sentinel-1 and 2, plus an appeal package for cooperatives and administrations.
Rapid mapping, early warning, and crisis viewers on Copernicus EMS.
Drought, reservoirs, and water body status with open European and Spanish data.
Tell us your area of responsibility (agriculture, water, emergencies, or planning) and we will tell you which operational data exists and how to deploy it.
