About the Instructor
Since 1992 Nate has worked at the confluence of geospatial information and disaster management in both the domestic and international domains. He has been a pioneer in this discipline though his work at USAID’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, FEMA’s GIS Solutions Branch, and the DHS Geospatial Management Office. He draws on his field experience as an emergency first responder and international humanitarian. Nate has taught this course at a number of universities.
Nate spends his free time playing, coaching or cheering on his kids at lacrosse throughout the Eastern half of the US. Beyond lacrosse, a perfect day includes hiking historical landscapes to better understand the past and connect with great events and those that lived through them.
Why my course is useful
This course ties together the disciplines of disaster management, planning and GIS in a way that allows them to exceed the sum of their parts and make communities safer. I believe that once you take this course you will see the world in a different, more integrated way and better understand how you can make your community safer, while also developing your career goals.
Why I built it
Following years of supporting disaster response with GIS capability, I came to realize that response was too late! It became clear that GIS had the potential to help communities break the formula of vulnerability and keep these tragedies from occurring in the first place. However, GIS could not do it alone as it takes good science, quality data and an understanding of planning and communications to really affect change.
What I hope for you
My hope is that you and those you train will see the value in these tools and approached and use them to make your communities safer. I also hope that your contributions will be recognized and that your career will advance and as you ascend, this approach will become widely adopted at the highest levels of government and the community.
