Albany Visualization and Informatics Lab Cited for Work on MitigateNY

The Albany Visualization and Informatics Lab (AVAIL), a data science and planning laboratory at the University at Albany directed by Geography and Planning associate professor Catherine Lawson, partnered with the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to transform the state’s hazard mitigation plan from a static, linear, 2,000-page document into a living, data-forward, nonproprietary, web-based planning platform called MitigateNY.
