WHAT IS OPERATION DRAGON FIRE?
A technology offering that delivers better information to decision makers during a disaster.

FEMA operates “Watch Centers” to collect information from traditional, publicly-available media such as newspapers, radio, and television.
Though unlike Saint Bernards searching for lost adventurers in the Alps, Operation Dragon Fire has a wealth of data and information available to determine the best direction for disaster professionals to go in times of disaster.
The open exchange of data is crucial to creating an efficient disaster response plan. Similarly, in medical crises, dissemination speed is essential.
