In the event of a major crisis like the terrorist attack in Paris at the Bataclan venue on November 13, 2015, the civil protection agents and organisations were dealing with a Massive flow of geolocated information (thousands of calls in a few minutes to the emergency centers) and a need for rapid decision-making based on territorialized information: location of attacks, position and availability of help, travel time, traffic, access, etc.
The NexSIS project aims to create a digital rescue platform providing all civil protection actors in France with a complete set of cloud operational services.
Open Source GIS solutions were chosen for this national project with strong technical requirements.
