Disaster Strikes!

From Response to Recovery

• Building/ Structural Inspections
• Paper method, the ATC-20
• Easy to gather the data
• Difficult to collate/ summarize it
• Displaced Residents
• Time penalty

Our Response/ Recovery Efforts are stymied...

• City
• County
• Operational Area
• State OES
• FEMA

How can this be improved?

• Need to get the information from forward
  observers to decision-makers and citizens
  quickly!
• Better coordination among agencies.
• Share information and data more effectively.
• Grave to Cradle
• Can technology help?
