This was a two-day workshop with an emphasis on GIS for Emergency Management for the Upper North Island and a follow up to our Wellington Workshop in February 2017. There were over 50 attendees across National, Regional, and Local Government.
The first day included both thought provoking presentation, discussion panel, and a breakout session. The GIS Specialists from the Bay of Plenty region demonstrated the geospatial decision support tools used in the Cyclone Debbie and Cook response. The second day was designed to train GIS staff to be deploy geospatial decision support tools ahead of disaster and test their preparedness with a short exercise.
