Track: Ports and Maritime
Authors: Eric Napralla, Cassandra Gray

The Port of Oakland built a disaster resilient Enterprise GIS as an effective way to function after a disaster, both natural and human-caused, and provide critical tools for recovery and resumption of operations. GIS data, tools and viewers were developed, integrating a mass notification system, live cameras, vessels, engineering data and more. It supports both airport and maritime port staff as well as the sharing of information with field crews, tenants, and public safety agencies.
