News From NSGIC

• National States Geographic Information Council
  (www.nsgic.org)
• Imagery For The Nation
• TechniGraphics - HSIP
• Fusion Centers
• Ramona data inventory tool

24
Imagery For The Nation

• Annual 1-meter imagery paid by feds
• Estimated 111 million/year but estimated 160
  million every three years
• Buy-up options (higher resolution, color
  infrared, footprints, etc.) as stated by state
  GI councils
• For more information see http//www.nsgic.org/hott
  opics/imageryofnation.cfm

25
TechniGraphics - HSIP

• TechniGraphics (TGS) is a contractor for National
  Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
• NGA formerly NIMA (National Imagery Mapping
  Agency)
• TGS is collecting Homeland Security
  Infrastructure Program (HSIP) data from the
  states critical infrastructure

26
TechniGraphics - HSIP

• States provide data (doesnt have to be
  geospatial), contact info to TGS.
• States contact officials (e.g., fire chiefs)
  letting them know of planned activities
• TGS improves data, makes it geospatial, e.g.,
  Arkansas fire stations
• No cot to the state!
• Current layers fire stations, prisons jails,
  EMS stations, urgent care locations

27
Fusion Centers

• Used to develop and share information
• Approximately 40 states have them
• In North Dakota, Bureau of Criminal
  Investigation, Highway Patrol, Dept. of Emergency
  Services
• A fusion center is an effective and efficient
  mechanism to exchange information and
  intelligence, maximizeresources, streamline
  operations, and improve the ability to fight
  crime and terrorism by analyzing data from a
  variety of sources.

28
Ramona Data Inventory

• Developed and promoted by NSGIC
• All levels of government can use this tool to
  inventory their geospatial data and list key
  contacts
• More information at http//www.nsgic.org/hottopics
