The SARGIS10 agenda will consist of presentations, hands-on training, and field exercises. 

Basic Track: Participants will learn how GIS can be applied to SAR and will practice using already built geospatial decision support tools.

Intermediate Track: Participants will be introduced to SAR concepts, and they will incorporate existing GIS knowledge to create geospatial decision support tools.
