What is GIS (Geographic Information Systems)?
Four directions: • Real-time Spatial Support Decision Making Systems (SDSS) (for Incident Commander). • Providing Spatial information for the Public and the Media (evacuation update and traffic update) • Mobile GIS/GPS devices for fire-fighters and fire-equipments to facilitate communications and resource relocation plan. • Mitigation, Response, and Recovery (short-term recovery and long-term recovery). @ The following research notes are created by SDSU Faculty during the 2003 Cedar fire.
