After the container ship DALI struck Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge on 26 March, the U.S. Coast Guard activated a remote GIS team to respond to the crisis. The USCG team used ArcGIS Online to create custom GIS applications, process and create geospatial data, develop custom mapping solutions, and import data from other federal and local partners to support the disaster response. AGOL was used as a one-stop information hub to coordinate response actions across numerous federal, state, and local agencies to quickly coordinate a “Whole of Government” approach to the crisis.
