Background Information
In 2018 theFederal Geographic Data Committeeco-sponsored theConcept Development Study(CDS) through OGCto advance the use of Geospatial Information for Disaster Risk Reduction. As a follow-up to this activity, the FGDC under the OGC Innovation program sponsoredDisaster pilots in 2019to close gaps and address challenges that resulted from the 2018 CDS.

April 2018 Disasters CDS Workshop at NASA - The purpose of this workshop was to guide future OGC Innovation Program Activities by:Engaging different stakeholders in disasters
Helping participants better understand activities occuring at OGC and other key organizations
Engaging executive level participants to understand the most important challenges
Engaging operational and technical stakeholders to gather and share information on the current state for using geospatial data and services during natural disasters, including: Understanding what data, applications, tools and services stakeholders need; Understanding what data, applications, tools and services are available; Understanding the discoverability, accessibility, and usability of resources; Understanding interoperability challenges and integration opportunities; and Identifying gaps in data, applications, tools and services.
