Case Study: Terrebonne Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (TOHSEP) achieves rapid, reliable offline damage assessments with TerraGo Edge from TerraGo

Terrebonne Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Selects TerraGo Custom Field Application

The Terrebonne Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (TOHSEP) leads evacuation, sheltering and recovery after hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and other disasters. Its first, time‑sensitive damage assessments are often done by volunteers in walking or windshield surveys, but post‑disaster IT infrastructure and mobile networks are frequently unavailable or unreliable, forcing crews back to pen‑and‑paper and slowing response.

TOHSEP adopted TerraGo GeoPDFs and TerraGo Edge to deliver offline maps and custom forms on tablets and smartphones, so teams can collect accurate data without an internet connection. As a result, field personnel can continue immediate damage assessments after an event, accelerating recovery efforts by ensuring maps and reporting capability are available when they’re needed most.
