Summary:
The research project applies data analytics to enable evidence-based planning and decision-making with respect to disaster and emergency mitigation, preparedness, and response strategies and initiatives, which may potentially be applied as further stages/waves of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis unfold, as well as when new pandemics arise in the future. This knowledge mobilization project has the Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) as partner organization.
