Catalog Full Description

Creating safer, more resilient communities requires a modern approach to understanding threats and hazards that are more complex, costly, and devastating than ever before. Public safety agencies and professionals in emergency management, law enforcement, fire, rescue, emergency medical services, and homeland security agencies are increasingly relying on GIS technology to prevent, protect against, and mitigate the effects of threats and hazards in their communities. By applying GIS, public safety agencies develop a deeper understanding of these complex threats to better respond to and recover from the threats that pose the greatest risk to communities, keep them safe, and ultimately build the resilience needed for the future.
