Contingency planning involves the assessment of the likely impacts of a potential incident and the creation of appropriate responses, including the provision of suitable and timely warnings to the members of the public likely to be affected.
Effective contingency planning is critical to the effective management of any ensuing crisis and mitigating its effects.
Exploiting the geographic advantage
Different government departments and other organisations manage complex databases through specialists that understand their own information and subject domains. ESRI (UK)'s GIS solutions support this expertise by exploiting the location-based elements present in almost all data to deliver powerful visualisation, analysis and mapping capabilities that help them extract maximum meaning from their information.
Enhancing collaboration
This unique capability permits the fusion of often disparate databases, ensuring that all data streams are as up to date as possible. A common operational picture permits analysts to compare, assess and model data in ways that otherwise could not be achieved. The interoperability and open architecture of ESRI (UK)'s GIS means this intelligence can be easily shared with other agencies and departments in a collaborative manner.
