2021 Special Capability Information Day
The black summer fires of 2019-20 and ensuing inquiries have prompted many new projects and initiatives. With this in mind, the theme of the April 2021 EMSINA meeting is “Discovering and understanding the latest initiatives in EM, with a particular focus on spatial data exchange to aid EM preparedness and operations”.
EMSINA wishes to thank all the presenters for their time and effort in putting together this information.
The Information gathered from each of the identified capability's can be found below.
