GIS for Homeland Security
Overview
Thankfully, the urgent need to develop strategies and methodologies for information access on which we can base our preparedness for homeland security comes with some
perspective. The GIS community has years of experience and data at its disposal. However, the ability to mitigate the effects of any emergency is drastically reduced by lack of forward planning.
This paper describes the critical role that geographic data plays in the assessment, preparedness, and response to such threats. Essentially, the capability to build on existing
data sets in the public and private sector, along with the knowledge and methodologies
developed over decades by the GIS community, allows organizations to move forward
with confidence and vision.
