Overview

June 9

Access to real-time data is critical for saving lives and mitigating damage during an emergency. Incident response often requires stakeholders to collaborate and communicate across geographical and jurisdictional boundaries to make efficient, data-driven decisions.

This has not always been easy. In some cases, it has been impossible.

Join Government Technology on June 9 at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern for a 30-minute webinar as we discuss how a cloud-based critical incident response network allows state and local government officials, first responders and other stakeholders to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents. You’ll also get a look at how a modern data management platform can transform critical decision-making and coordination by enabling data visualization and real-time analytics.
