GIS for National Security, Defence & Emergency Management Conference
Geospatial information systems are at the heart of modern military, civil defence and emergency management services. They enable extensive analysis and support critical decision making by providing the right information to the right place at the right time. Despite their massive potential, geospatial information systems tend to generaly be under utilised in the region. This is mainly because of the sheer complexity and volume of the data and the lack of trained professionals needed to operate them. Furthermore, not all data captured is effectively utilised into the system, which could tremendously increase its purpose and usability. GIS systems provide tremendous opportunity for greater capabilities if these key issues are properly addressed.
