This session explores cutting-edge GIS applications in emergency management and disaster response. Indoor mapping advancements for 9-1-1 centers enhance real-time situational awareness, while the Regional Delta-Wide Decision Support Tool provides actionable flood intelligence using Esri’s GIS platforms. The tool enables field teams to monitor levee conditions, access real-time weather and flood data, and communicate efficiently during emergencies. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how GIS supports life-saving operations and proactive disaster mitigation.
