Abstract: After a devastating earthquake occurs, damage extraction and loss evaluation from the remote sensing image data in the disaster area can provide an important basis for the earthquake emergency management and rescue mission. However, the remote sensing images must go through complex mapping, transmission, print works, before they are applied to the emergency headquarter. Digital earth platform is not only convenient, but can provide rich information to users. This paper provides a solution to build a system to share the remote sensing images acquired in the disaster area. The system is built with the open source digital earth platform and open source WebGIS server which follows the OpenGIS specification. It has successfully published the post-earthquake remote sensing images in the disaster area of 2011 Yiliang-Zhaotong, Yunan earthquake on the Web and display them in three-dimensional style with the digital earth platform,the example significantly improves the effect of displaying of the remote sensing images.
