Abstract
Risk-Era: A GIS Tool for Community Risk Management in Sweden
Track: EMS, Fire, Disaster Management
Author(s): Janet Edwards
Risk-Era is a low-cost, user-friendly geographic computer system for risk management. The program is targeted for risk managers at the community level. Risk-Era is used for location and analysis of accident risks. The user completes a comprehensive inventory of sites where risks are present. All objects are then classified and other relevant data is registered. Because Risk-Eras data is located in a SQL Server 7.0 base, data from other systems can be easily imported. MapObjects was selected as the GIS component for Risk-Era. MapObjects is a good solution with several functions for geographic presentation and analysis and is affordable for communities.
