Storm Preparedness with Depiction Mapping Software

Downed power lines, flooded roads, landslides: communities across the country face difficult questions about how to evacuate towns, get residents to shelters, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Supporting the local Red Cross, Salvation Army and County Emergency Operations Center, Depiction what-if mapping software's fast and flexible capabilities improved situational awareness and played an important role in response and recovery efforts during the January 2009 floods. And now Depiction automatically integrates National Weather Service 24-hour forecasts into the active Depiction maps of any local government, planning agency or concerned citizen.
