Case Study: CDMX improves emergency planning and resource allocation with CARTO

CDMX launches emergency planning in 1 year with CARTO after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake

Mexico City (CDMX) faced significant challenges in assessing damage and allocating resources after a major 2017 earthquake. To address this, they needed a geospatial two-way data-sharing solution to coordinate emergency response efforts efficiently. They partnered with CARTO to develop this solution.

CARTO implemented a flexible geospatial solution using CARTO Engine and geocoded census data. This resulted in the Plataforma CDMX, an interactive cadastral map that serves as a centralized resource for damage reporting and tracking reconstruction. The platform optimized resource allocation and evolved into a sophisticated resilience and emergency planning tool for the city, demonstrating the power of CARTO's Location Intelligence.
