GeoSync XG Damage Assessment Goes to Work

Pike County and numerous other Kentucky counties recently suffered severe flash flooding. Just before 5:00 am Saturday, May 9th, Pike County declared a state of emergency. Pike County 911 is also the pilot county for GeoSync XG Damage Assessment, a new MapSync application streamlining the collection, compiling, and reporting of damage assessment data during emergencies. Data collected using this application is now in use by Pike County 911, the Red Cross, and FEMA. Being the first major test of the application, MapSync personnel have been on site throughout post-flooding assessment efforts, to coordinate the use of the software, and assist as needed.

Eight teams comprised of county employees and Kentucky National Guard, equipped with laptop computers and digital cameras, have canvassed the flood damaged region using the new application to collect data. Crew members were previously unfamiliar with the software, but after 10 to 20 minutes of training they were up and running. According to Doug Tackett, Emergency Management Director for Pike County, "This damage assessment application was very easy for our teams to learn and use. This has been the easiest and most complete picture of damage we have been able to collect for our county."

Overall the process was a success and Pike County collected data in a way that has never been seen before.
