Why would either satellite images or straight data be less useful on their own
Geodata and individual privacy
I believe Geo-data should not be collected from an individual unless with specific permission. If the data is to be used the individual should remain completely anonymous unless they state otherwise. Reddit ( a social media site I use) says they can derive your location through things like your IP address or the content you post using their services without your consent https://www.redditinc.com/policies/privacy-policy-january-10-2020, I find this as a lack of privacy but I don’t consider it most of the time when i’m using it.
There are situations were our personal data may be useful for a broader purpose, like preventing the spread of a disease by tracking those infected. I don’t think this justifies ignoring ones personal privacy until the point of absolute emergency, even then it is still important to use the bare minimum amount of personal information needed on the persons to stop/slow the emergency.
Most of my personal information is public, though I do believe I should be more conscious of what I put out there.
The most important information to remain private in online communities should be for safety, vital information like your address should remain private, especially if your an influencer or a teen. The amount that should be publicly available should be just enough to stay safe from anyone with malicious intent you may come across, the level of privacy you choose to have should vary depending on the risks you might have being part of a specific group or groups.
Is it worth it to give up more of your personal information to portray you personality online?

I chose air pollution from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA tracks several datasets about Earth’s air quality such as carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. The EPA shows the quality of the air on Earth and they look to reduce air pollution with their findings as well as improve it. The improvement of air quality leads to better visibility and economic growth. Humans do and have done so much negative to Earth’s air quality and atmosphere, do you think this organization will stop the damage or only slow it? Is the damage irreversible and should we even bother tracking it?

NASA is one of the largest providers of geographic information. They use datasets from various colleges and their respective observatories/laboratories and national and international satellites. Everything from near real time imaging to data collected through atmospheric and satellite measuring systems is available to NASA. This data is used to prevent or warn of disasters in multiple areas including floods, fires, shipping and sailing, air quality, and vegetation levels and quality. LANCE is the acronym lent to this collection of data and the system used to gather the data. LANCE stands for the Land, Atmosphere Near real time Capability for EOS (Earth Observing System). This is essentially satellite data, either straight satellite images or images overlaid with information layers, essentially color coding the information on the image for a certain use.
Why would either satellite images or straight data be less useful on their own? Why in particular would satellite imagery be more or less useful in the prevention of disasters?
