Copernicus Disaster Explorer QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Copernicus Disaster Explorer supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Explore confirmed natural disasters in Italy and load the Sentinel imagery that captured them, with automatic band selection and symbology.
About
This plugin connects confirmed disaster events (from CEMS, EFFIS) with Sentinel satellite imagery from Copernicus Data Space. For each event (flood, wildfire, volcano, landslide) it finds the matching Sentinel-1/2 images, downloads them with real-time progress, and loads the relevant spectral bands with appropriate false-color symbology for immediate visual analysis. Floods use dual-sensor search (SAR + optical). Requires a free Copernicus Data Space account (https://dataspace.copernicus.eu). Geographic coverage: Italy (expandable). Interface in Italian.
