Crisis Mapping and Geo-spatial Analysis

The training program is an integral part of the consultation services provided as an in-house initiative to develop professional skills and guide participants within the organization. Carefully designed by the “Resilience Edge” team and delivered by experienced trainers, it ensures exceptional learning outcomes. To implement the program, the organization must arrange for a minimum of ten participants and handle all necessary logistical arrangements.

Course Description:

The Crisis Mapping and Geospatial Analysis course delves into the application of geospatial analysis and crisis mapping technologies in the field of emergency management. This course equips participants with the skills and knowledge to collect, analyze, and visualize geographical data to enhance understanding and response capabilities during crises. Through a combination of theoretical instruction, hands-on exercises, and case studies, participants will learn how to leverage geospatial tools and techniques to identify patterns, assess risks, and make informed decisions in emergency situations. This program empowers participants to harness the power of geospatial analysis for effective crisis management and response.
