Situation Analyst Montana (SAM) is a state-wide all-hazard decision support tool (SaaS) available to all government agencies within Montana at no cost. It provides a one-stop shop for all disciplines to access real-time information from as many sources as possible during incidents as well as during routine activities. Local agency field personnel can capture information so that all disciplines have access to real-time information. Federal and state information are leveraged to provide agencies to provide a common operating picture. A new statewide home risk assessment project is being kicked-off using SAM. New and existing users will learn how to access and use SAM, its latest features, and its companion SA Field Tool app for offline use. Data sharing between incident management teams, local agencies and the public will be a key topic for this workshop. This WILL be a hands-on session.
