GIS Concept

www.kockw.com

The primary benefits of GIS in emergency management

are in spatial information integration and dissemination.

GIS help integrate data from different sources, scale,

accuracies, and formats into a single source that can be

utilized for modelling, mapping, and spatial decision

support to help formulate and execute emergency

response plans

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Preparedness.

All those individuals and organizations that might have to

respond to emergencies should be properly prepared, including

having clarity of roles and responsibilities.

Continuity.

Response to emergencies should be grounded in the existing functions of organizations

and familiar ways of working, even though delivered at a greater tempo, on a larger

scale and in more testing circumstances.

Subsidiarity.

Decisions should be taken at the lowest appropriate level, with co-ordination at the

highest necessary level. Local responders should be the building block of response on

any scale.

www.kockw.com

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Direction.

Clarity of purpose should be delivered through a strategic aim and supporting objectives

that are agreed and understood by all involved to prioritize and focus the response.

Integration.

Effective co-ordination should be exercised between and within organizations and tiers

of response as well as timely access to appropriate guidance and appropriate support

for the local or regional level.

Communication.

Good two-way communication is critical to an effective response. Reliable information

must be passed correctly and without delay between those who need to know, including

the public.

www.kockw.com

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Co-operation.

Positive engagement based on mutual trust and understanding will facilitate information

sharing and deliver effective solutions to issues arising.

Anticipation.

Risk identification and analysis is needed of potential direct and indirect developments

to anticipate and thus manage the consequences.
