Track: Public Works
Authors: Rocky Agbunag

St. Johns County, FL had its share of damages caused by Hurricane Matthew on Oct. 7th, 2016. Our Public Works Dept was prepared, but will our GIS-centric Maintenance Management System handle a Cat4 hurricane? Can we track all the storm related calls? How about debris management and FEMA reimbursements? These were the challenges St. Johns County Public Works was ready for and responded well. This presentation will illustrate how ArcGIS as platform was used for this historical storm event.
