  4. Take Home Points re: GIS • GIS is layer centric • geography is the “unique key” • more than a map: its an information system

  5. GIS Integrates All Types of Data Geography is a “key.” Basemaps Roads/Infrastructure Raster imagery Land use/Land cover Environment Weather information Vehicle locations Forming collections of data to create information and knowledge …

  6. Parcel Management

  7. Drought And Flood Analysis

  8. Inundation Modeling

  9. Evacuation Routing

  10. GIS For Situational Awareness • Integrates and manages these disparate, data types • Static base layers: political boundaries, roads • On-demand raster imagery • Real-time data: weather , vehicles, humans with GPS-enabled phones, devices- like electrical transformers. • Supports workflow intelligence models • complex geoprocessing • realtime global visualization tools • automated cartography • data publishing • Assimilates vast amounts of data into one common frame of reference providing situational awareness for • Better command decisions • Effective resource management, • Accurate information to the public.
