Crisis Mapping in an emergency

This brief discusses the critical role of crisis mapping during emergencies, focusing on the coordinated response of various agencies in the wake of the Canterbury earthquake. Key organizations like the NZ Police, Fire Service, and Health Boards played vital roles. Establishing a collaborative platform within 24 hours facilitated data sharing and GIS support for internal teams and external agencies. Key learnings emphasize the importance of having foundational data ready, clear communication channels, and the need for thorough decision-making processes to enhance response efforts in future emergencies.
