Maintaining situational awareness is critical to response efforts. Manually collecting and sharing data is slow, and the data is siloed and immediately out-of-date. Using GIS helps provide powerful mapping and analytics capabilities that allow you to see what and where events are happening in real time, brief teams immediately, and make better-informed decisions.

Gain real-time situational awareness

Stay ahead of changing conditions

Incidents are constantly evolving, changing the planning assumptions and needs minute by minute. ArcGIS provides the ability to access and ingest real-time information—like weather forecasts as well as current radar, traffic, social media activity, and sensor data from the Internet of Things (IoT)—to support emergency operations.
