The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is Calling For Participants in the OGC Disaster Pilot 2023. Funding is available. Responses are due by February 17, 2023. The goal of the Disaster Pilot 2023 is to further improve the ability of key decision makers and responders to discover, manage, access, qualify, share, and exploit location-based information in support of disaster preparedness & response as well as the full cycle of multi-hazard disaster management. The OGC Disaster Pilot 2021 and 2022 initiatives included more than 50 individuals as participants and sponsors, and more than 150 stakeholder representatives, who collaboratively produced User and Provider Readiness Guides, multiple Engineering Reports, and a large number of workshops, webinars, and other outreach events. These Disaster Readiness Guides focused on flooding and landslide events, and now the 2023 Pilot seeks to update them to cover wildfires and drought.
