Track: Disaster and Emergency Management
Authors: Carlyn Hiller

This presentation will detail how the Southeast GeoReadiness Center (SEGRC) supported the NAVFAC Contingency Engineering Response Team (CERT) during Hurricane Matthew. The SEGRC created facility index and utility map books, storm surge and flood maps for over a dozen Navy sites across five countries. SEGRC was able to link property databases, federal agency data, and Navy GIS data to provide in-depth emergency response map products that reduced disaster assessment and cost estimation times.
