Draw Affected Disaster Area and Adapt Resources

Registered by Darlene McCullough

At times, an emergency plan's resources become unavailable due to their proximity to the affected area. This problem definition supports drawing and storing a series of affected area shapes on a map, and using that geo-data to adapt the facility and staff resource plan by automatically offlining those resources that would be negatively affected.

Overview

At times, an emergency plan's resources become unavailable due to their proximity to the affected area. This problem definition supports drawing and storing a series of affected area shapes on a map, and using that geo-data to adapt the facility and staff resource plan by automatically offlining those resources that would be negatively affected.

Example
In the event of an unexpectedly large coastal storm, a municipality's sheltering system may find that some of it's shelters are in an area that is now underwater. Currently, emergency managers would be required to get situational reports from each individual shelter, however, if administrators had the ability to simply draw the flood areas on a map, the system could use the geo-coded shelter addresses to automatically offline those shelters that are no longer usable, and instead activate some of the standby shelters.
