DMAPS GIS Initiatives
DHS/NGA Establish chain-of-command for GIS
data. WVU Tech Center Partnered with OES for
improved critical infrastructure
data sets. State Police Have criminal incident
data that is GIS ready. Fire Marshal Are
acquiring a mapping extension for fire
incidents. Army Guard Implementing GIS for
counter-drug and counter- terrorism programs
that tie into DHS initiatives. County OES Have
critical GIS layers accessible via E-Team
software for state-wide emergency
response. National Weather Service Model
flooding incidents based upon stream and rain
gauge reporting to permit a real-time model.
