Detailed Agenda

When Glasgow hosted the COP26 Conference, the need for tight security was paramount. Police Scotland transformed a paper-based process into a GIS-based digital mobile workflow that enabled officers to carry out efficient Defensive Venue Searching to keep VIPs, visitors and citizens safe during the event. Since then they have been improving missing person search operations using mobile GIS. This is improving efficiency for officers providing real-time vital information and enabling them to keep vulnerable people safe from harm.

Emergencies aren’t managed in a vacuum and silos in Emergency Management never succeed. Kentucky Emergency Management takes the “ultimate partnership” approach in all we do – planning, response, recovery, and mitigation. Hear how KYEM and state partners, along with Esri and partners, built a GIS-based incident management system around surveys, ArcGOS Dashboards, and ArcGIS Experience Builder, then empowered it with ArcGIS For Microsoft 365. You’ll leave hopping with good ideas when you hear about the Kentucky Emergency Response Management Incident Tracking system – also known as KERMIT!
