Firstly, who are we?
• My background
• London Resilience Team’s background
• Who we work with and why

Assumption
• We’re convinced there are advantages to using and exploiting GIS for resilience, both in terms of preventative activity but also for response.
• Are we correct in that assumption, is it valid?

How we currently use GIS…
• Hounslow Composite Risk Mapping
• Environment Agency Flood Mapping – Drain London Flood Mapping
• Public Health Incidents – official vs unofficial
• Public Disorder – Guardian

Barriers to use
• Policy
• Fear
• Lack of understanding and appreciation
• Organisational dynamism
• Data quality/storage/processing
• Data sharing limitations
• Resources - Hidden skills

What could it achieve?
• Enhanced contextual understanding – the ‘so what?’
• Deployment of resources - coordination
• Positioning of assets and response actions
• Determination of priorities
• Benefits from linking geographical data

The road ahead…
• Real time status of London informs the responses of organisations - CityDashboard
• Harness and use Big Data to provide better day-to-day and emergency response
• Pattern and trend analysis
• What does Hollywood say?
• SmartGrids and iCities

It’s not about maps
• It’s about information
• And it’s about people
• Standards and consistent meta-data – London Datastore
• Role of volunteers – crisismappers / Google / Ushahidi
