How Is GIS Being Used? Read presentations from the 2009 Esri International User Conference.

Mitigating the effects of natural hazards and providing potential risk analysis for communities are common application areas for GIS. Information from a central database can be visualized and analyzed to mitigate areas that are environmentally at risk. You can use GIS to assess contamination of soil, water, or the atmosphere.

• Monitor pollution to environment relationships.
• Identify potential risks.
• Prioritize potential pollution scenarios.
• Model the rise of pollution levels over time and predict environmental impact.
