WASHINGTON – New Light Technologies Inc. (NLT), a leading provider of integrated cloud, cybersecurity, software development, data analytics, geospatial, and scientific consulting services was awarded a new contract by the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide modeling, analytics, systems development, and training services for the Response Geospatial Office (RGO). The RGO provides the agency and homeland security community, hazard analytics and operational analysis through the development and use of a growing portfolio of tools and geospatial and remotely sensed information.
NLT, who brings many years of experience serving FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery (ORR), National Preparedness Division (NPD), and Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), and who has developed award winning real-time disaster analytics platforms for predicting hazard risk, guiding response operations, and assessing damage, will lead the delivery of contracted services for the RGO. NLT will focus their work on further integrating these geospatial systems to support the agency’s implementation of a more unified and full lifecycle data analytics architecture.
To provide depth of expertise, expanded training and outreach capability, and additional staffing surge capacity during disasters, NLT has partnered with two of the most well-known names in emergency management: Dewberry and the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (NAPSG) Foundation.
