DM Solutions group has launched an Indian Ocean Disaster / Tsunami Web-Mapping application. The goal of this Website is to help facilitate, through the use of interactive Web-mapping technology, all aspects of disaster mitigation. This is an interesting MapServer/Chameleon application, using several OGC:WMS layers. Aid workers at ground zero and around the globe can have free access to this spatial data and the resulting mapping functionality via the Internet.
The goal of this Website is to help facilitate, through the use of interactive Web-mapping technology, all aspects of disaster mitigation, including:
emergency response,
food and disaster relief supplies distribution,
rescue operations,
rehabilitation planning,
damage assessment,
downstream disaster mitigation planning,
etc., etc.
Visitors to the site can create maps quickly and jump to pre defined data themes like GDP, population, death toll. Useful weblinks to resaources like NOAA and institutions of seismology are also offered.
