Video: Geospatial Tools Boost Hurricane Preparedness and Track Flood Risk

When hurricanes and floods threaten coastal communities, emergency responders and urban planners have a new tool for recovery and resilience. They are using GIS technology and real-time data from Esri’s ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World to track storms and map flood zones. They can monitor flood risk, for example, using the Live Stream Gauges map layer that reveals near real-time water level data from global sensors.
