Every incident contains lessons learned that can be used to better prepare for the next disaster.
However, today’s disasters are more intense than ever before, wildfires are burning hotter or civil disturbances are more complex. Emergency managers need to change the way they approach response efforts.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology can help emergency managers to better understand the risks around us, and to anticipate when and where action is needed.
Esri’s Solution for disaster management is fully integrated geographic information system (GIS). The system enables teams, agencies, and partners to maintain shared situational awareness at all points during a disaster response. With real-time data feeds continuously updating configurable, cloud-based dashboards and web maps, information becomes instantly available to inform the public and critical decisions at the same time.
Esri’s solution supports all workflows for disaster response from operational briefings, damage assessments, impact analysis, to public information.
Here are some case studies that using GIS in disaster response.
