Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness has stressed that Geographic Information Systems (G.I.S.) played a critical role in the Government’s response to Hurricane Melissa.
Speaking at the Spatial Arc G.I.S. User Conference yesterday, Dr. Holness noted that G.I.S., drones and artificial intelligence were used to produce preliminary damage assessments.
This aided with identifying where assistance was needed most.
