OVERVIEW
This session focuses on the critical role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in enhancing public safety, particularly through Fire Accreditation Analysis and Evacuation Zone Management. Targeting local government officials and emergency management professionals, the event delves into how GIS technology supports and improves fire agency accreditation processes and emergency evacuation planning.
​
We will explore Fire Accreditation Analysis, highlighting its importance in maintaining high standards of excellence in fire agencies, and emphasize how GIS aids in spatial analysis workflows, hazard risk analysis, and service delivery measurement, aligning with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) standards. Real-world examples illustrate the successful implementation of these practices.
​
We will also address the 'Know Your Zone' concept, crucial for effective emergency management, covering the establishment of evacuation zones, their communication to residents, and the role of GIS in managing and disseminating this critical information. The webinar also stresses the importance of public engagement and the use of GIS to facilitate efficient evacuations and ensure public safety.
​
The event aims to provide actionable insights, enhancing the capabilities of local governments in managing public safety concerns.
