The Cloud’s Role in Public Safety & Emergency Management (Day 1)
Data analytics demonstrate their value for both public safety and emergency management every day. The National League of Cities, for example, promotes the usefulness of Data-Informed Community Engagement (DICE), pairing crime data and analytics with community-driven risk concerns. Data-driven policing has been in use since the 1970s, but the advent of the cloud and edge computing has put it at the fingertips of law enforcement.
Similarly, emergency response agencies are using data for everything from predictive analytics applied to wildfire risks to incorporating geographic information systems data to improve response times.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the steps to implement data analytics using cloud capabilities
- Identify which elements of data analytics your agency has in place and the tools still needed to achieve agency objectives
- Outline processes and procedures to make data analytics available to those who need its outputs
