Abstract
Savannah River Site Emergency Response GIS Dynamic Population Model Tool Track: Disaster Mangagement and Emergency Response Author(s): Tracy McLane, Dwight Jones The Savannah River Site (SRS) is a 310-square-mile Department of Energy Site located near Aiken, South Carolina. With a workforce of more than 15,000 employees and subcontractors, SRS emergency personnel must be able to respond to an emergency event in a timely and effective manner in order to ensure the safety and security of the Site. GIS provides the technology needed to give managers and emergency personnel the information they need to make quick and effective decisions. In the event of a site evacuation, knowing the number of on-site personnel to evacuate from a given area is an essential piece of information for emergency staff. SRS has developed a GIS Dynamic Population Model Tool to quickly communicate real time information that summarizes employee populations by facility area and building and then generates dynamic maps that illustrate output statistics.
