ArcGIS Capabilities for Mitigation Planning: State of Indiana 2019 Mitigation Plan StoryMap and Other Advancing Technologies
Webinar Description:
ArcGIS capabilities support each phase of a hazard mitigation planning process, from performing a detailed risk assessment, to collaborating across stakeholder groups and sharing mitigation project information with the public. Apps and tools can help bridge the gap between data management, visualization, and analysis to support planning and engagement processes. The Polis Center at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis will highlight their work on the State of Indiana 2019 Mitigation Plan Update using Hazus analysis tools, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS StoryMaps. The StoryMap creates an abbreviated and focused story highlighting aspects of the plan relating to climate change and steps communities have taken to mitigate natural disasters such as floods and tornadoes. In addition, Esri Public Safety experts will provide a brief tour of new capabilities and templates, including an ArcGIS Solution for 3D flood impact analysis and ArcGIS Hub as a platform for sharing data and collaborating, to help mitigate the growing threat of disasters in our communities.
