Applying GIS to a Modern Approach to Preparation, Response, and Recovery from Catastrophe
REDLANDS, Calif.—April 27, 2021—Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, today announced the publication of Dealing with Disasters: GIS for Emergency Management.
Catastrophic events today are more complex and costly. How does one manage loads of information coming from multiple sources? How can officials remain agile in the heat of an event? How do organizations ensure the transparent, equitable distribution of services and resources during recovery?
Dealing with Disasters: GIS for Emergency Management examines the importance and principles of applying location intelligence when preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters:
- Preparedness: Proactively mitigate and reduce risk with data-driven insights, including risk analysis and visualization.
- Response: With real-time situational and operational awareness, run rapid impact analyses, deploy resources. Monitor changing conditions and communicate these to workers in the field.
- Recovery: Prioritize work and target action. Engage the community and transparently share what’s happening with the public.
Geographic information system (GIS) technology empowers decision-makers with modeling tools, rapid analysis and communication, presentation capabilities, and other critical real-time solutions. Each section contains information about how to get started with GIS.
Dealing with Disasters: GIS for Emergency Management is available in print (ISBN: 9781589486393, 200 pages, US$19.99) and as an e-book (ISBN: 9781589486409, US$19.99).
