Preparedness

To understand where a hazardous event will occur and how the community can best prepare to protect lives and livelihoods, requires a location-based understanding of the environment. ​Location intelligent disaster preparedness helps communities better prepare and take anticipatory action to manage hazardous events. ArcGIS provides tools and systems to monitor known hazards and forecast events, create location-specific early warning systems and alerting platforms, and identify potential shelters and safe evacuation routes.​
