Flood prediction & risk assessment
Flood related disasters have significant financial impact with devastating results that often result in loss of human lives worldwide. Due to the continuous exploitation of wooded and wetland areas worldwide our lands are losing the ability to absorb water. This is but one of the reasons for the increasing number of flood-related disasters. In order to assist floodplain managers plan and predict the most vulnerable areas, GeoMap Systems offers a full range of high-accuracy geospatial products, ranging from digital terrain models (DTMs), orthophotos or RealOrthos, 3D City Models, watershed delineations, and flood risk maps. These products are critical for effective flood management and preparedness in floodplain's, coastal and even urban areas.
Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise and GeoMap Systems aims to provide experts with accurate and affordable geospatial data that will help them better understand and predict the most vulnerable coastlines.
Pre and post-fire analysis
Our geospatial data can be very effective for pre-fire analysis in urban areas. In a pre-fire analysis scenario our detailed 3D City Models can be used to assess roof structures for emergency response operations, the number of floors at risk, as well as determine proximities with nearby buildings for risk assessment. In situations like these where the most appropriate decision is required, 3D City Models of the surrounding area can be invaluable for efficient emergency response and planning in post-fire events. Typical situations for urban incidence response management include:
- Fire events and fire drills
- Gas explosions
- Local hurricane and storm damage
- Urban earthquake damage
GeoMap Systems offers datasets and services designed to increase the efficiency of the fire management programs. Our cost effective products and automated workflow's are ideally suited for decision support scenarios. By identifying high-risk areas and minimizing human casualties GeoMap Systems services can provide consistent and effective assistance to fire management programs worldwide.
Environmental Monitoring & Disaster Management
Globally, natural disasters kill an estimated one million people and leave millions more homeless each decade. The economic effects from natural disasters such as floods, storms and earthquakes during the decade 1980-1989 was nearly €94 billion and has tripled since then.
Our solutions can help your business assess more reliably and effectively the impact of environmental disasters. In a continuous changing and unpredictable environment the quality and availability of state of the art & up to date 3D geographic information is of vital importance in flood modeling and natural disaster monitoring. We have invested in innovative solutions to provide customers with rapid damage assessment, and data distribution services. Our expertise into rapidly supplying with quality 3D City Models, RealOrthos, detailed Terrain Surface Models and GIS data, results in better decision-making for the coordination of “Search and Rescue” as well as ”Recovery and Clean up” operations.
