In other data news, on May 2nd, TechCrunch published an interesting article entitled, Data was the new oil, until the oil caught fire. In this article, Danny Crichton describes how we've been hearing that “data is the new oil” for more than a decade now, and in certain sectors, it’s a maxim that has more than panned out. From marketing and logistics to finance and product, decision-making is now dominated by data at all levels of most big private organizations; however, data has been all but absent from much of the public sector’s emergency response this past decade.
- “Maps are the critical intersection for data in disasters. Geospatial information systems (GIS) form the basis for most planning and response teams, and no company has a larger footprint in the sector than privately held Esri. Ryan Lanclos, who leads public safety solutions at the company, pointed to the huge expansion of water sensors as radically changing responses to certain disasters. “Flood sensors are always pulsing,“ he said, and with a “national water model coming out of the federal government,” researchers can now predict through GIS analysis how a flood will affect different communities with a precision unheard of previously.”
