Disaster Management and Response
A platform you can count on in a crisis.
Azure Maps APIs offer critical geospatial information that is critical in tracking and responding to disasters.
Azure Maps APIs for emergency response
Immediately following an emergency, accurate and reliable geospatial information is critical for an effective response. Azure Maps APIs help you direct disaster management and response efforts. Azure Maps’ suite of comprehensive geospatial tools offers you exactly that, as well as consistent environmental monitoring for pre-disaster risk assessments.
Rapid Mapping
Highly accurate mapping that lets you assess the situation before an event, identify the areas most affected, and evaluate the severity of damage.
Routing and Disaster Relief
Identify the best way to dispatch relief efforts following a disaster via air, water, and land routes that remain safe to traverse.
Weather Updates
Get up-to-the minute weather information, including alerts current and historical information to predict an event, as well as alerts for storms and heavy weather.
Prevention and Preparedness
Plan and manage disaster response through floodplain mapping, wildfire risk assessment, tidal warnings, and more by overlaying sensor data with other data sources.
Timely data feeds
Get the information you need, when you need it. Plan your relief efforts based on accurate geospatial data that’s updated, in certain cases, on a minute-to-minute basis.
Robust Planning
Create custom disaster management mapping to track the parameters you need. Assess the probability of a potential disaster and put in place an effective plan of action.
Mitigation of loss and damage
Reduce loss of life and property destruction with highly reliable geospatial data delivered through REST API’s that can inform your response efforts before, during, and after an emergency.
