Agencies can leverage mobile applications, visual products, and geospatial analysis of risk to optimize their accreditation process. Attendees will learn how to leverage GIS to collect field data, identify at risk populations, and discover trends in risk within a community. These actions allow for the efficient focus of resources to provide the appropriate service to those in need.
Agencies are faced with significant obstacles while on their accreditation journey. How are we performing risk assessments focused on specific hazards? How do we communicate those risks to decision makers? How do we understand the community we are serving, where are gaps in service delivery, and focus efforts to those in greatest need? Agencies can integrate analysis that use GIS to understand what is the risk, analyze performance, and identify needed resources. These workflows allow for an efficient accreditation program, appropriate deployment of resources, and improved decision making. Upon completion, participants will understand how to use GIS to support the accreditation process. This webinar is part of a series hosted by the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE).
