The GMES Emergency Management Service (EMS) is the first GMES service to become operational.

EMS started operations on April 1st, 2012 and consists of a set of services funded by the European Commission.

These are aimed at providing actors in the management of natural and man-made disasters, in particular Civil Protection Authorities and Humanitarian Aid actors with mapping products based on satellite imagery (EMS - Mapping).

Other EMS activities support Early Warning Systems.
