Welcome to San Diego by the City MayorAnker 

On behalf of the citizens of San Diego, I would like to welcome you to The International Emergency Management Society 2016 Annual Conference.
San Diego has worked diligently at fostering communication, collaboration and sharing best practices among our countless professionals in the fields of healthcare, public health, emergency medical services and emergency management. As we are often reminded, ensuring disaster readiness and building healthier, safer and more resilient communities must be a top national priority.
San Diego is a shining example to the nation in the field of emergency preparedness, drawing on our thriving defense industry, expertise in innovation, and cross-border collaboration.
San Diego is known for its world-class restaurants, beautiful beaches and thriving neighborhoods. While visiting, I hope that you have the opportunity to experience some of the attractions that America’s Finest City has to offer.

Please accept my warmest wishes for an enjoyable event in San Diego.

Best personal regards,
 
                Kevin L. Faulconer
                   San Diego City Mayor

 Special Tour to San Diego State Visualization Center

The Viz Center is a physical space but one that largely represents relationships between people and organizations collectively attempting to positively impact the worlds of Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief, Community Resilience, Search and Rescue, and aid to operational Emergency Responders and Homeland Security.
The Viz Center specializes in organizing and delivering geospatial data (dots on maps) over small networks (terabytes to the handheld) for emergency response and disasters. By linking emerging technologies, innovative back-end processing, and operational needs especially for disaster, the Viz Center community is attempting to assist our community, region, nation, and world in responding to difficult situations with critical information, knowledge, and decision-support tools.
