New Light Technologies (NLT) is in Boulder, CO, this week, proudly sponsoring and presenting at the National Geospatial Preparedness Summit, organized by the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation. Attendees come from all corners of the emergency management community to share first-hand stories and technical experience in disaster preparedness and response. Planned events include hands-on training, policy workshops, and field-oriented exercises, harnessing the expertise of public safety officials, first responders, the National Guard, military, GIS practitioners, federal agencies, infrastructure operators, and the private sector.
NLT presenters are featured among the day's lightning talks, discussing the evolution of geospatial coordination in the disaster response community. Their presentation showcases the evolution of FEMA's disaster response tools, which allow incredibly precise community coordination in a remarkably fast time — including the information-sharing platform Disasters.GeoPlatform.Gov. The summit is a prime example that everyone has a role to play in a community's resilience, and NLT is at the forefront of developing the clear channels of communication and information sharing that facilitate it.
