Daniel Irwin: Using NASA technology to solve disaster, environmental conditions

From the article: "Irwin heads a NASA program known as SERVIR. Using satellite technology, SERVIR helps officials in Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and Africa understand and respond to natural disasters, combat environmental problems, improve agricultural practices and monitor air quality.

Irwin describes his program -- which means 'to serve' in Spanish -- as 'a space-to-village relationship' that employs 'eyes in the sky and uses it for societal benefit.'"
