Presented by Gurdeep Singh, Portfolio Manager, GeoBC and Kris Hayne, Business Area Expert, EMBC
BCeMAP is a Multi- Agency Situational Awareness tool that provides a framework for geospatial intelligence, data fusion and visualization. This project is a result of partnership between EMBC, GeoBC and GeoConnections program.
BCeMap is part of the national Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System (MASAS) system that will enable emergency management practitioners to better prepare for, respond to and mitigate the impacts of emergency events through timely sharing of geospatially referenced information within a Common Operating Picture (COP) application.
The presentation will also highlight local, provincial and federal collaboration and partnership in providing geospatial information for emergency management and public safety stakeholders with a focus on major events like 2010 Olympics.
