Standalone GIS for Civil Defence Events
summary
A portable disaster GIS built from two high‑end laptops, Android tablets and a small Wi‑Fi router runs as standalone GIS and needs only a single 240V power supply. It hosts Apache/Tomcat, GeoServer, MapStore, PostgreSQL with weekly corporate DB copies, QGIS Desktop, QField with QField sync/QFieldCloud, Valhalla for Valhalla routing and isochrones, a Kanban task board and operator manual in Docker containers. Kits are maintained weekly and have been assembled for field use but have not yet been required in a real event.
