EMCOP Technology
•
The Project Team have worked with US to
install EM COP in Australia:
– To understand localisation issues and minimise the technical risks.
– To explore ways to capitalise on existing data sources such as
BOM, VicRoads, fire and flood prediction, ESTA, eMap, and
Vicmap.
•
EMCOP is now running as a highly available,
highly scalable “Cloud” service for Victoria.
