In 2018 the Federal Geographic Data Committee co-sponsored the Concept Development Study(CDS) through OGC to advance the use of Geospatial Information for Disaster Risk Reduction. As a follow-up to this activity, the FGDC under the OGC Innovation program sponsored Disaster pilots in 2019 to close gaps and address challenges that resulted from the 2018 CDS.
