Using GIS/CAMA in Disaster Response
Track: EMS, Fire and Disaster Management
Author(s): James Mallory, Mike Morrison

This paper talks about how the Oklahoma County Assessor's office used GIS/CAMA (Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal) systems in response to the May 3rd, 1999, and May 8th and 9th, 2003, tornados in Oklahoma County. These tornados were some of the largest and most devastating tornados in history. GIS was crucial in identifying and assessing properties as well as assisting in recovery efforts in the wake of these tornados. GIS was also used to track the path of destruction and assist emergency teams and agencies.
