Track: Disaster and Emergency Management
Authors: Caroline Thomas Jacobs

Emergencies that require State support require complicated collaboration among multiple partners using vast amounts of information. Cal OES uses GIS to make sense of this information and share it effectively with executives, responders, and supporting partners. Come see how Cal OES integrates specific GIS tools into response operations to improve responders’ understanding of emerging situations, quickly inform decision-making, and accurately display actions taken.
