Using Google Cloud to Better Coordinate Emergency Operations

We're excited to hear from @brandonwilliams about how Eagle County has automated emergency management plans and reports to better collaborate on time-sensitive issues. Examples include:

• Google Site for Interactive Emergency Operations Plan used to train Emergency Operations Center staff, assign roles, set up key response documents, and keep partners informed during emergency incidents including wildfires, search & rescue ops, gas leaks, flooding, and the COVID-19 response.

• Situation Reports, used in Emergency Operations Center activations to share information with response and policy partners.   

We’re also looking forward to hearing from @aidenjtaylor at Clay County, WV, who created an own Incident Management System (built with AppSheet) to centralize how emergency management agencies and other emergency services entities manage, record, and coordinate emergency response and recovery efforts. From asset & incident tracking, reporting, mapping, document creation, and position/action logging AppSheet is capable of running systems similar to that of which one would pay millions of dollars for with a third party.
