Abstract

Remote Sensing Decision Support Tools for First Responders
Track: Imagery and Raster
Authors: Brian Collins

Remote Sensing may seem like a daunting tool for first responders, but it is a very powerful tool to use when combined with GIS technology. This presentation will focus on how to harness the utility of this technology for First Responders with easy to use web tools and automation in ArcGIS Server.

The presenters will focus on how to get imagery from Satellites and Fixed-wing aircraft into ArcGIS and web services in near-real-time to support units in the field.

Imagery and data from Remote Sensing is important to First Responders, but only if it can be downloaded, processed, and given to them at exactly the moment it matters most. Come learn how to make this information work for your department.
