Indiana University faculty, students and staff at IU’s Crisis Technologies Innovation Lab (CTIL) in IU’s Pervasive Technology Institute, working with collaborating partner Disaster Tech, have created a data-science tool to help emergency managers keep their communities safe.
The DICE dashboard (Data-science Integrated Collaboration Environment) helps emergency managers know, at a glance, what resources they have available in a crisis situation. DICE aggregates huge amounts of information on crucial aspects of a community’s infrastructure, including fire, police, and health and medical.
CTIL partnered with Disaster Tech, a company with expertise in data science and curation. DisasterTech brought in Microsoft for its engineers and disaster response expertise, Kinetica for its software and data engineers, and NVIDIA for its graphical processing units (GPUs) to perform high performance computing operations. (Users can sign up for access at Disaster Tech, which also offer free and paid subscription options for a variety of advanced features.)
