Conference 'Higher dimension of security - GIS in civil protection' at the Fire Academy

Among the lectures presented was a presentation by Dr Jakub Ryzenko, head of the Crisis Information Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CBK PAN). Jakub Ryzenko emphasised the increased efficiency of crisis management as a result of the use of synergies between satellite data, data acquired by drones and GIS systems. He talked about the activity profile of the Crisis Information Centre, which is actively involved in organising staff exercises and implementing new solutions in crisis management.

Other presentations focused on various aspects of the use of GIS in emergency services and civil protection, such as the modernisation of alert systems, the use of satellite data for hazard prediction, and strategies for informed crisis management.

The conference provided valuable insights and inspiration for public safety professionals and showed how important a role modern technologies, including GIS, play in preventing and responding to emergencies.
