Abstract	China is a country which suffers a large variety of frequent natural disasters, causing losses of over US$12 billion each year. In China, remote sensing has been playing a very important role in monitoring, control, relief and assessment of natural disasters such as: floods, earthquakes, forest fires, etc. An airborne real-time remote sensing system for natural disaster monitoring and evaluation was set up by the National Remote Sensing Center of China (NRSCC), and some applications have been successfully carried out. This report presents a brief introduction of the system and its applications, and some other experiences of remote sensing monitoring of natural disasters in China. --author's abstract
