Prioritize, plan, and distribute resources where they're needed the most
Survivors need access to information after an incident. Understand where your efforts are needed the most and ensure the public knows where to go for recovery assistance. Esri puts your information in the context of location—where community recovery efforts are ongoing, where disaster recovery projects are planned, and where survivors can find resources.
The process of clearing roads and removing debris from the community is a vital step for rebuilding. But managing this can be time consuming and potentially harmful in the long term if the process is mismanaged. Esri can help you document the amount and type of debris, assign and manage the removal process, and report on overall status to ensure debris removal contracts are fulfilled.
With money on the line, you need to manage aid distribution and report recovery progress to the public and elected officials. Use GIS maps to engage the community in your recovery initiatives in a more interactive way. Communicate your progress on the distribution of funds and provide transparency for the long-term efforts to get your community back online.
