Emergency Response is a Geospatial Problem

Dr. Michael Goodchild

Emergency response is often discussed in terms of four stages, from preparedness to mitigation. At each stage the geospatial dimensions are critical and raise issues of geospatial data sharing, GIS, uncertainty, and privacy. Today many of these issues can be addressed through high-performance computing and AI. The webinar discusses issues of governance, response times, access to proprietary data, wearable technology, and resilient communications. Some of the images in the presentation are not in copyright.
