With Australian summers becoming hotter and wetter than average each year, emergency response teams are gearing up for one of their most challenging seasons yet. But extreme weather events will not be the only threat over the coming months. This year sees COVID-19 presenting a compounding pressure on emergency response organisations who are already struggling to meet the demand of the pandemic as it takes hold of society. Ambulances are running at full capacity; police are patrolling to keep restrictions under control – all the while the fire and flood season is looming.

Now more than ever, emergency services organisations are turning to data and technology to ensure their systems are optimised in the face of a busy season ahead. Join us for When Health and Weather Events Collide: Digital Preparedness for Australian Emergencies where we will speak with industry leaders to hear how they are preparing their systems to cope with pressure from both health and weather events in the 2021 and 2022 summer season.

  • Hear about the expectations for the season ahead from emergency services industry peers and how optimised technology can improve response times
  • Learn about the most relevant datasets available to feed into CAD systems
