商品描述

Description:

Earthquakes bring down cities, wildfires ravage millions of acres of land, floods wash away homes and lives, volcanoes devastate towns and villages, hurricanes roar down on populous coasts, tornadoes rip mile-wide paths up and down the countryside. Mother Nature does what she does, and in the face of her fury, a comprehensive and effective system of preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery seems an unlikely possibility.

Geographic information systems, however, are just that, providing the means not to conquer Mother Nature, but to get out of her way, and soften her blows when we can't.

From deciding where to build new fire stations and in which stations to keep ladder trucks, to monitoring disasters as they happen, in real time, with only a PC and an Internet connection, from mapping wildfires tens of thousands of acres in size with GPS equipment and a helicopter, to processing raw data and providing information products around the entire Pacific Rim, GIS is making emergency management a faster and more accurate means of helping people cope.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述：
地震摧毀城市，野火破壞數百萬英畝土地，洪水沖走家園和生命，火山摧毀城鎮和村莊，颶風襲擊人口稠密的海岸，龍捲風在鄉村間留下數英里寬的破壞路徑。大自然做她該做的事情，在她的憤怒面前，一個全面有效的準備、減災、應對和恢復系統似乎是不太可能的。

然而，地理信息系統就是這樣，它提供的不是征服大自然的手段，而是在無法避開她時減輕她的打擊。

從決定在哪裡建立新的消防站，以及在哪些消防站保留梯子車，到實時監測災害，只需一台個人電腦和互聯網連接，從使用GPS設備和直升機對數萬英畝的野火進行地圖繪製，到處理原始數據並提供整個太平洋沿岸的信息產品，地理信息系統正在使緊急管理成為一種更快速、更準確的幫助人們應對的手段。
