A Perfect Storm: Technology, Information and Intelligence Come Together In Crisis Preparedness System

After hurricanes Katrina and Rita, oil and gas company BP sought out technology that could lessen the potential impact of a hurricane on our oil and gas supply and save lives. The result is an unprecedented system developed with IDV Solutions and Microsoft that comes just in time for an active hurricane season.

The new system uses the latest data visualization, integration and other information technologies, all accessible via the web, to show exactly where people and assets are located in relation to weather patterns, from offshore and onshore rigs to refineries, office buildings and employees' homes. This gives time for proper shutdown procedures and evacuation so people, and your oil and gas supply, are safer.
