Building Safe and Resilient Communities Using Location Intelligence

In today’s modern world, public safety agencies must contend with risks that are more complex, interconnected, and systemic than ever before. From natural, technological, and human-caused threats and hazards, to underlying social inequities, agencies need a better understanding of these risks to build safer, more resilient and sustainable communities.

GIS provides public safety agencies with the tools needed to assess systemic risk and community vulnerability, to design effective policies and risk reductions strategies, and to engage with the whole community to document and address root causes that can change future outcomes. These capabilities not only help communities prepare and adapt, but also better respond and recover from significant events.

Join Esri Public Safety personnel and global subject matter experts for this three-part educational webinar series to explore how GIS helps you sustain essential functions and deliver critical services that lead to a safer, more resilient community for the future.

WEBINAR 1: Assessing risk and vulnerability using GIS

Maintain shared situational awareness

If the last 12 months have shown us anything, it is that preparedness and community resiliency are central to quickly and effectively responding to disasters. Agencies require access to real-time data and a shared situational awareness across divisions and response groups, as well as the ability to maintain timely communication to the public.

Esri's emergency management operations solution empowers response teams with real-time field data collection applications and a cloud-based, shareable infrastructure that allows data to be quickly triaged and disseminated to decision-makers.

During this webinar, we will review Esri's emergency management operations solution and how your team can leverage the fully integrated system, allowing you, your team, and unlimited partner agencies to maintain shared situational awareness at all points during a response.

Applying national security principles to a self-contained environment

Protecting and securing the critical infrastructure and key assets of any nation are paramount to its safety, security, and economic stability.

The objective of this webinar is to apply tried and trusted national security principles to self-contained environments, such as universities, business parks, casinos, sports stadiums, military bases, and large government facilities.

We will walk through various workflows, including how to use GIS to analyze historical and real-time incident data, conduct a tactical site survey, and track tactical assets.

Connect, analyze, alert, and actuate in real-time

Monitoring of real-time Internet of Things (IoT) data, like weather, traffic, and flood sensors, in relation to critical infrastructure or a community's population allows for a better understanding of potential impacts during an incident, quicker alerts and notifications to drive action, and faster deployment of resources when and where they are needed the most. Emergency management organizations have an opportunity to improve their situational awareness and operations by better leveraging IoT data produced by networks and sensors.

This webinar will explore the following:

• Emergency management workflows that leverage real-time data from multiple streaming feeds
• Steps to easily visualize time-critical data feeds to detect and act quickly on time-sensitive incidents or events
• ArcGIS Velocity, a cloud-based, real-time analytics platform that helps organizations ingest, visualize, analyze, and act on data in real time
