Abstract
Integrating Environmental Monitoring Data into GIS for the World Trade Center Emergency Response
Track: Homeland Security
Author(s): Harvey Simon, Mark Gallo
In the aftermath of the September 11 World Trade Center disaster, the EPA was responsible for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting a wide variety of environmental data to make decisions about worker safety protection and public health. This presentation will cover the process of creating a monitoring database, the integration of monitoring data into GIS during a crisis, and how data processing procedures were evolved to streamline the flow of information from field collection and laboratories into data analysis systems to support decision making.
