REACT Real-Time Emergency Action Coordination Tool

Recently the Emergency Management Operations Center (EMOC) of St. Tammany Parish turned to the Technology Development and Transfer Office (TDTO) of NASA's Stennis Space Center (SSC) for help in combating the problems associated with water inundation. Working through a Dual-Use Development Agreement the Technology Development and Transfer Office, EMOC and a small geospatial applications company named Nvision provided the parish with a new front-line defense. REACT, Real-time Emergency Action coordination Tool is a decision support system that integrates disparate information to enable more efficient decision making by emergency management personnel.
