FedGeoDay 2022 - OGC Open Information Ecosystem for Disaster Resilience

Lightning Talk
Written By Adam Simmons

The OGC Innovation Program has helped advance OGC standards for geospatial data analysis and portrayal, data packaging, on-and-offline usage, data discovery & processing, cloud computing, small & large scale infrastructures, and much more. When a disaster strikes, disaster relief drives the need to quickly integrate and analyze real-time data streams from multiple sources to plan responses and monitor the evolving situation. Improving the ability of key disaster decision makers and responders to discover, manage, access, transform, share, and exploit location-based and Earth Observation data enhances disaster awareness and improves readiness, resilience, and response through standards-based collaboration in an open information ecosystem to ensure disaster resilience.
