#109 The Role of Tech in Emergency Management - Interview with Heidi Hessler

Technology continues to make life easier in many walks of life and Emergency Management is no different.

Over the past decade, Heidi Hessler has been at the forefront of that effort as Co-Founder and CEO of Futurity IT. Their GIS and mobile enabled software tools aim to assist organizations in the way they communicate, coordinate and collaborate especially during disasters such as wildfires, floods or even training exercises where multiple organizations are involved.

In this episode, Heidi talks about some of those instances where effective communication and collaboration was aided by technology and data during a disaster. She also talks about the broader advantage of having more data available at your fingertips and how it can make the response efforts more effective
