Consultant
City of Berkeley
Brian B. Quinn of the City of Berkeley is a consultant intergrating spatial data systems, modeling hazards, analyzing risk mitigation strategy, and developing interactive map services for business continuity planners and other users. Brian combined remote sensing from imagery and diverse geophysical data with maps of soils, engineered structures, and ground water modeling in geographic information systems (GIS) for civil and environmental engineering projects at Bechtel Corporation for over nine years.
In the past three years, Brian implemented modeling of both natural and technological hazards that he maintained within an enterprise geodatabase, and he built interactive map services to distribute hazard information to users of a browser-based contingency planning tool and to others at Charles Schwab & Co.
He is a member of northern California's Business Recovery Managers Association, an associate instructor for Basic HAZUS at the Emergency Management Institute, and chairs the GIS committee of Collaborative for Disaster Mitigation's (CDM) User Group.
