                         provide satellite images of major disasters around the world. The 
                         Disasters Charter is a joint and voluntary cooperative effort of 
                         17 members. The characteristics of how the Charter works and the 
                         support of the satellites CBERS-4, CBERS-4A and AMAZONIA-1, 
                         including its cameras, are presented. There were 213 Charter 
                         Activations during the studied period (from mid-2018 until the end 
                         of 2022) with as many as 368 satellite images being provided (43% 
                         from the WFI camera-presented in all three satellites). Floods 
                         were the most frequent type of disaster and with the highest 
                         number of images provided. Of all the Activations during this 
                         period, INPE provided as much as 70% of all the Charter requested 
                         remote sensing data. Our internal operational scheme is revealed 
                         and the limitations of the satellite imaging are discussed to 
                         foster Brazils capacity in satellite imaging.",
