Workshop | EMSINA Presents: Geospatial technologies - Enabling broader collaboration across all levels of emergency management.
Event overview:
The Emergency Management Spatial Information Network Australia(EMSINA) have an annual workplan task to set standards, enhance and build awareness of spatial data and its applications in emergency management.
Some of the themes we can explore in the PDP are,
-
How can we leverage AI and machine learning for real time insights;
-
How can spatial technologies be integrated across different levels of emergency response and recovery;
-
How can we adapt best practice technologies across Australia and New Zealand;
-
How best to use technology to improve information flow at all levels of response and recovery?
Spatial Information technologies comprise a range of disciplines which come together to provide valuable input across the Emergency Management sector. More commonly referred to as ‘mapping’, but definitely not just about making maps. Spatial Sciences are at the heart of dispatching, resource allocation, warnings, pre-incident planning, incident statistical reporting, fire & flood modelling, remote sensing, plume modelling, impact assessment, smart devices, artificial intelligence and field mapping - all key decision support areas in emergency management.
Through presentations, lightning talks and facilitated discussions, EMSINA will present examples of the use of Geospatial intelligence from our Emergency Service Organisations and Government agencies from across Australia along with some of the major vendors of location technologies. We will hear about the latest applications and tools that drive data driven decision making, trends and most importantly we will focus on what the future holds in the ever-increasing appetite for Geospatial intelligence in modern digital solutions. This program is coordinated by the Emergency Management Spatial Information Network Australia (EMSINA).
Who should attend?
This workshop is focused at all levels of emergency management to gain stronger understanding of the solutions across Australia as applied to emergency management. Essentially, anyone who has an involvement with, or is responsible for:
-
making critical decisions in times of crisis;
-
incident management personnel who need to know how spatial technologies are best applied for decision support;
-
mapping of emergencies;
-
emergency service front line workers interested in progressing mapping technologies to better enhance situational awareness;
-
public information/media officers;
-
digital systems champions taking our systems to the next level;
-
members of the spatial sciences community; and
-
location technology solution vendors
