Homeland Security and Geographic Information Systems How GIS and mapping technology can save lives and protect property in post-September 11th America Introduction Timely, accurate information, easily accessed and capable of being shared across federal, state, and local political jurisdictions is fundamental to the decision making capability of those tasked with the homeland security mission. But without the real-time ability to quickly visualize activity patterns, map locations, and understand the multi- layered geospatial context of emergency situations, homeland security will not be achieved. The current state of geospatial information technology can provide decision-makers the data they need to confidently confront a wide variety of threats including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, sabotage, and similar crises. However, the current implementation of that technology, across all the federal, state, and local agencies and jurisdictions necessary to fully coordinate an effective response, is seriously lacking in specific areas. As the concept of Homeland Security becomes infused into the work-a-day pattern of government and the everyday life of our citizens, decision makers will greatly profit from the crisis management "edge" that GIS provides. Homeland Security leaders should understand and implement the policy changes necessary to fully realize this technology's capability, and make the management decisions necessary to implement it on a national basis.

Cartography and Geographic Information Systems A geographic information system (GIS) is simply a database of information about natural and man-made geographic features such as roads, buildings, mountains... These systems can be used for making maps, but also for analyzing data e.g. for facility location. There has been some communication between the geometry and GIS communities (e.g. geographer Michael Goodchild gave an invited lecture on "Computational Geography" at the 11th ACM Symp. Comp. Geom. ) but more could be done to bring them together. Geographic problems already visible in the geometry community include interpolation of surfaces from scattered data , overlaying planar subdivisions, hierarchical representations of terrain information, boundary simplification, lossy compression of elevation data (e.g. by using a piecewise linear approximation with few facets), and map labelling. Other interesting geometric issues include handling of approximate and inconsistent data, matching similar features from different databases, compression of large geographic databases, cooperation between raster and vector representations, visibility analysis, and generation of cartograms (maps with area distorted to represent other information such as population). A particularly important geometric data structure in geographic analysis is the Voronoi diagram , which has been used for to identify regions of influence of clans and other population centers, model plant and animal competition, piece together satellite photographs, estimate ore reserves, perform marketing analysis, and estimate rainfall.

Services, clients, employment, and estimates. http://www.srimap.com/

AM/FM and GIS Industry Commitment Southeastern Reprographics, Inc. (SRI) was founded in February 1979 specifically to provide mapping and field inventory services to the electric, gas, and water utility industries. Our name was derived from the methods employed in that era for map creation, which generally used photographic and cartographic processes. Since that time the technology used in mapping has changed considerably. In 1985, SRI saw the industry trend moving toward automation, and became actively involved in the digital preparation of utility maps. SRI was one of the first companies in the United States to provide digital mapping services to clients, and has stayed abreast of this ever-changing technology in order to produce the highest quality maps available. 2035 Grassland Parkway Alpharetta, Ga. 30004 Phone 1.800.924.5233 Fax 770.619.5282

Media Centre Location: WHO WHO sites CSR Home Public Health Mapping Public Health Mapping GIS and public health mapping Mapping in WHO Tools Mapping diseases and health ... Information resources (Click to enlarge) In order to properly plan, manage and monitor any public health programme, it is vital that up-to-date, relevant information is available to decision-makers at all levels of the public health system. As every disease problem or health event requires a different response and policy decision, information must be available that reflects a realistic assessment of the situation at local, national and global levels. This must be done with best available data and taking into consideration disease transmission dynamics, demographics, availability of and accessibility to existing health and social services as well as other geographic and environmental features. Geographic information systems (GIS) provide ideal platforms for the convergence of disease-specific information and their analyses in relation to population settlements, surrounding social and health services and the natural environment. They are highly suitable for analysing epidemiological data, revealing trends and interrelationships that would be more difficult to discover in tabular format. Moreover GIS allows policy makers to easily visualize problems in relation to existing health and social services and the natural environment and so more effectively target resources. Since 1993, WHO’s public health mapping programme has been leading a global partnership in the promotion and implementation of GIS to support decision-making for a wide range of infectious disease and public health programmes.

FO-05926 PC-06136 1993 To Order The Basics of Geographic Information Systems Lloyd P. Queen and Charles R. Blinn This publication, which provides a basic understanding of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is one part of a three-part series. A second publication, Geographic Information Systems: A Glossary (Blinn et al. 1993), defines many of the terms associated with GIS. The last piece in the series, Introduction to Data Analysis Using Geographic Information Systems (Falbo et al. 1991), describes analysis functions in detail. Introduction When introduced in the 1960s, the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was limited to a small number of research and applications users. Today, GIS is one of the fastest growing technologies; it has applications in public safety, natural resource management, environmental analysis, utilities, and government, and is moving quickly into many other areas. The motivation for the tremendous growth in the use of GIS is clearly linked to both the increasing demand for information and the ever-increasing ability of computer technology to provide effective, cost-efficient data processing and management capabilities. Conceptually, a GIS can be envisioned as a stacked set of map layers, where each layer is aligned or registered to all other layers. Typically, each layer will contain a unique geographic theme or data type. These themes might include, for example, topography, soils, land-use, cadastral (land ownership) information, or infrastructure such as roads, pipelines, power lines, or sewer networks. This image of GIS is shown in Figure 1. By sharing mutual geography, all layers in the GIS can be combined or overlaid in any user-specified combination. In some cases the GIS may be defined by the type of data that the system is designed to handle. For example, the term "Land Information System" or "LIS" is often applied to a type of GIS used by counties, cities, and municipalities to manage land parcel information.
