This paper explores the trend and use of GIS Network analysis tools in the Emergency and Disaster (EDR) market, as well as in the emergency response service (ERS) industry. The use of GIS Network analysis tools in the EDR and ERS market over the years has increased the market competitiveness and has given room for increased efficiency and profit sharing for both public and private enterprises in the industry. The paper also explores the new ArcGIS pro Network Analyst tools and its underlying operating techniques. Proactive and reactive network analysis tools, including route analysis, service area, and location-allocation analysis tools, were explored, and case studies were reviewed on their use in relation to the EDR and ERS industry.
