GIS for Disaster Management & Emergency Response

GIS: One Platform and Many Missions

When a disaster / emergency strikes, knowing what you need and how to find it can be the key factor that saves lives, resources, and critical infrastructure. Whether it is planning, responding or recovering from a disaster / emergency, key to success is coordinated functioning of multiple agencies involved and making the overall mission a success.

At the GIS for Disaster Management & Emergency Response seminar during User Conference, Nepal, explore how GIS is a technology platform that supports multiple missions - whether you work in emergency management, health, defence, law enforcement, or public safety. You will experience how geospatial technology enables real-time situational awareness, generating & sharing a common operating picture for all and supports ground level execution in most critical circumstances.
