Disaster Response Intelligent System (DRIS) was developed in cooperation with state emergency operation centers to support training, daily operations, and emergency response. DRIS integrates existing hazard models and analysis tools with local data to provide situational awareness through a GIS framework. It delivers critical data, analyzes incidents, integrates hazard models, and supports modeling of hazards like storm surge, chemical releases, and flooding to guide emergency response.

9. Building Footprints Building footprints and critical infrastructure are a vital component of DRIS

11. Natural Disaster (Hurricane) User identifies the Category of Storm (Cat I-V), Forward Motion, and Tidal Influence

12. Storm Surge Model Predicted flood areas

13. Chemical Plume Model Traffic Control Points - Pending, Established, or Entry Point Chemical Spill Footprint to guide evacuations Critical Infrastructure Color-coded “Levels of Concern”

14. Flood Forecasting Model Most of the flows are contained inside the Yazoo river and its complex channel system while inundating the flat flood plain

17. Population Count Tool Generates on-the-fly population estimate for a defined area

18. At–Risk Area Model Grid-based map displays at-risk populations and related analysis for each grid-cell
