Abstract
Digital elevation models (DEMs) provide basic information about the shape of the earth. This information is fundamental for understanding and modelling natural hazards and their consequences. The low resolution and accuracy of the current generation of freely available global DEMs means inappropriate use can lead to dangerously misinformed disaster management decisions being made, particularly at the local level. Investing in high resolution, high accuracy global DEMs and making them freely available to the global community would have many benefits to society, one of which would be better informed disaster management decision making.
