TerraFly: a Teaching Device for Emergency Evacuation

摘要

Geographic information systems (GIS) prove to be a useful visual tool for planning and documenting evacuation routes, as well as a tool for teaching public about these routes, facilities and emergency services. In this paper, we discuss use of TerraFly GIS for such purposes. We apply TerraFly's powerful visualization tools to assist emergency preparedness at the Florida Memorial College, located in Miami.
