Build resilience, respond, and recover with real-time GIS technology
Focusing efforts to mitigate the impacts and protect against the complex threats and hazards in today's modern world requires a deeper understanding of the social, economic, and environmental systems around us. Emergency managers use geographic information system (GIS) technology with data-driven insights to better prepare and help their communities respond and recover from significant events.
Understand, identify, and build strategies that mitigate natural hazards and human-caused threats using the science of geography. Using GIS, areas of risk and vulnerability are highlighted by combining critical infrastructure, hazard, and demographics data into a single map.
Anticipate needs during rapidly changing conditions with real-time dashboards that aid critical decision-making and maximize the effectiveness of emergency management operations. GIS builds shared situational awareness across response teams, stakeholders, and the public.
Conduct damage assessments, build a reporting database, and monitor debris removal with field data collecting and reporting applications. Using GIS expedites response and recovery efforts, monitors the status of community lifelines, and helps you communicate recovery resources to the public.
