Understand risk and design strategies to mitigate future impacts
Mapping and visualizing hazards is only part of the equation. Using GIS to analyze demographic, economic, and climate data helps you assess and understand systemic risk, and highlights where to reduce the potential impacts of hazards on your critical assets and the people you serve to truly build resilience.
Designing risk reduction strategies that are inclusive of the whole community helps ensure that programs, policies, and strategies equitably target specific locations for more impactful outcomes. Using GIS to communicate with and hear directly from the community leads to a shared understanding of local needs that will enhance resilience.
Communicating complex information—like a household's risk and vulnerability—that affects individual behavior to build resilience requires context that only maps can provide. With GIS as the platform for communication, organizations can effectively inspire action by engaging the community and communicating risk reduction measures.
