Building Resilient Communities Disaster preparedness How real-time data is used to prepare you for when disaster strikes Emergency services Be aware of emergency services in your area and how to help Adaptive communities Plan for future disasters and work to mitigate their impact Pave the way for a resilient future GIS empowers disaster monitoring and preparedness by providing real-time data and predictive analytics that enables emergency services to anticipate events and strategize responses. Additionally, GIS is a vital tool for sharing critical information during emergencies and helping at-risk communities receive timely alerts and access essential resources. By identifying vulnerable areas and populations, GIS helps communities build their resilience against potential disasters. Through GIS, we pave the way for a resilient future that prioritizes the wellbeing and security of all. Environment Canada Live Weather Alerts Environment and Climate Change Canada issues public weather alerts to notify those in affected areas. This allows communities to prepare for extreme weather events. Warnings are usually issued six to 24 hours in advance, although some severe weather (such as thunderstorms and tornadoes) can occur rapidly, with less than a half hour’s notice. Disaster preparedness Explore how GIS acts as a dynamic communication tool and alert system, providing crucial real-time data and insights to help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from devastating natural disasters like wildfires, floods and droughts.
