How many of our cities and counties are "sharing their data" to create comprehensive emergency management preparedness' plans and mitigation? We must think of alternate methods to empower our communities to develop "social capital" and cooperation. Let us review methodology and software capabilities that can encourage this sociological concept to grow within our communities. The GIS community can stimulate this growth and bring benefits to all. Emergency Management GIS software review:
- HAZUS-MH: Hazards U.S. - Multi - Hazards
