In the aftermath of an earthquake or other large-scale disaster, it is critical for responders to share intelligence with their partners in other agencies and coordinate their efforts to resolve the highest-priority hazards first. ESRI’s ArcGIS Survey123 is one application that many departments in the Los Angeles region are adopting to gather real-time data.

The training and accompanying drill activities will help firefighters prepare to enact earthquake mode procedures, conduct effective critical facility assessments, and utilize the capabilities of new technologies.
