SUMMARY:How Increased Digital Adaptability Can Enhance Spill Response Effi
 ciency
DESCRIPTION:Poster\n\nNaa Sackeyfio and Jamie Stovin-Bradford (ITOPF)\n\nT
 he use of geospatial technology to support spill response has evolved over
  the past decades. Today, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology 
 is used in diverse, sophisticated ways for seamless sharing of content nea
 r real-time, improving the decision-making process and fostering collabora
 tion amongst stakeholders. It, however, can be challenging for spill respo
 nders to balance the requirements of data interpretation and provide effec
 tive technical advice if information is in abundance and not logically pre
 sented.\n\nSeveral geospatial information management systems and technique
 s are used in the spill response industry to effectively gather and presen
 t data during spills. Most are based on standardised techniques like Shore
 line Cleanup and Assessment Technique (SCAT). Common Operating Pictures (C
 OP) are also widely used to provide an overview of information gathered fr
 om multiple sources. Considering the multiple factors involved in the choi
 ce of surveillance techniques and spill data management systems, digital a
 daptability is crucial.\n\nThis poster presents effective ways of collatin
 g, visualising and sharing geoinformation during spills, using recent case
  studies from actual incident response. It demonstrates the importance of 
 a focused and flexible approach to geospatial data management and highligh
 ts the benefits of modern GIS for stakeholder involvement and corporate co
 llaboration. It also raises some challenges that come with these opportuni
 ties and suggests possible solutions.\n\nTag: Preparedness, Prevention, Re
