Better preparedness and improved capacity to handle crises

Geodata and geographical information systems (GIS) are key tools in the work of organisations such as MSB, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency.

For example, it may be a question of mapping objects worthy of protection, analysing risk or estimating the consequences of an event.

The information can also be supplemented with performance statistics and visualised geographically on a map. This is how we gather important knowledge that helps us to improve our state of readiness and our capacity to handle crises.
