This document summarizes Esri's public safety assistance program and how it has helped agencies respond to disasters. It provides examples of Esri assisting with emergencies and special events in 2014-2015, including floods, blizzards, typhoons, and more. Esri helps agencies plan for incidents by sharing data across organizations, integrating and analyzing data to provide actionable information, deploying easy-to-use applications, and disseminating information to multiple devices.

19. Incidents/Events – A Common Problem
• Sharing static, dynamic and other data across organizations
and departments – shared situational awareness
• Integrating and analyzing data to provide actionable information
• Deploying mission-based (easy-to-use) applications
• Disseminating information to multiple devices

20. Similar Patterns
• Dissimilar events
- Boston Marathon, 35,000 runners, 26.2 miles
- Richmond Raceway (NASCAR), 400 acre site

21. Boston Marathon 2015
• Shared situational awareness between multiple agencies
- BRIC, MEMA, Boston City EOC
• True, real-time “common” operational data layers

22. • Critical information lost
• Hard to use
• Difficult to share and collaborate
• Not dynamic for current conditions
The Current State

23. The Future State
• Critical information displayed
• Easy to use
• Easy to share and collaborate
• Dynamic
