Design and development of an intelligent emergency state reporting system for Puerto Rico: Geographic Information System: Vulnerability and Risk Mapping

Abstract

In emergency situations like natural disasters it's important to know what event happened and where, but an aspect of the response that could be overlooked is the very people who could need saving. A visual format of handling this information allows for faster parsing and decision making. A web map, to be integrated into the admin portal is an ideal way to do this. Highlighting the expected losses, or percentage of vulnerable groups in an area is useful to gauge how dire a situation is and what places might require more attention.
