Enhancing Emergency Response with GIS Technology in Matosinhos, Portugal

Source: Esri
Matosinhos, a city in Portugal facing multiple disaster threats such as wildfires, floods, and potential industrial accidents, has integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) technology into its emergency response strategy. Recognizing the need for coordinated communication among various disaster response teams, the city implemented a unified digital platform using ArcGIS Dashboards. This platform provides a real-time overview of critical data through maps, graphs, and charts tailored to each team's specific requirements. By centralizing information and making it accessible both in command centers and in the field, Matosinhos has improved decision-making speed and accuracy during emergencies.
