Local, state, and federal government units and the private sector need to learn how to best use the GIS technology now in the hands of those on the front lines fighting fires, managing evacuations, and cleaning toxic spills. These case studies illustrate the best new strategies for mitigation, response, and recovery from both natural and human disasters. A wide variety of disasters and scenarios are represented, including a lethal mudslide and wildfires.
