I am pleased to be the conduit for the draft guidelines that have been developed over the past couple of years. They represent the sterling efforts of a few committed people who are passionate about the potential that lies within this area. I need to mention John Gibson from Greater Wellington Regional Council in this regard, because he has been the backbone and coordinator behind this effort.

More to be added...

Hi all. It has been a while since I blogged or maintained the site. I've just upgraded to the latest version of Drupal, so you should notice a shiny new look. The next step is to provide a dedicated page for the EM Guidelines that are currently out for consultation.

I've also just uploaded the GIS in emergency management survey that was undertaken by a number of people last year, and compiled by John Gibson and Helen Grant from Greater Wellington.

This report presents the results of a survey carried out to review current use of geographic information systems (GIS) in emergency management in New Zealand, and to gauge interest in best practice guidelines being developed.

The report can be downloaded in pdf format here.

I've just added summary notes of the Workshop that was held in Auckland in March 2006 to discuss potential development of guidelines for the use of GIS in Emergency Management. These can be downloaded in pdf format from here.

I have just published a report I finished last month for the Wellington Lifelines Group to the knowledgebase to see how well it handles longer documents in one page. Let me know if you think it is too long for one page. I will probably end up putting a pdf version available for download as well.
